Source Fxstreet

Newly-minted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took over the reigns of Canada from now-former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday morning, and the fresh Canadian leader wasted no time in declaring his intent to meet US President Donald Trump head-on as the Trump administration spools up a messy, global trade war with nearly all of the US's closest trading partners simultaneously.

Key highlights

Mark Carney sworn in as Canada's prime minister, now faces Trump tariffs.

Carney plans visit to France and the UK next week.

Carney: We will create new trade corridors with reliable partners.

 I plan to go to France and the UK.

I hope to have a call with Trump but I don't have a plan to do so.

Election news in coming days and we're seeking strong mandate.

I look forward to speaking with Trump; we understand his agenda.

I'm confident we can find a mutual solution with Trump.

Canada has progressed with Trump, and we will find a solution.

'America is not Canada,' new Prime Minister Mark Carney says in rebuke to Trump.
