Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to resign in the next few days: report The Canadian Prime Minister, 53, may step down as early as Monday, according to sources.
The Canadian Prime Minister, 53, may step down as early as Monday vacating the position of the head of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party after nine years in office, a source told Reuters and the Globe and Mail.
Trudeau has been under increasing pressure to resign, with more members of his own party reportedly joining the effort to force him out after his deputy prime minister resigned and concerns about Donald Trump’s tariffs increase.
In mid-December, Chrystina Freeland, the deputy prime minister and head of finance, unexpectedly resigned citing disagreements over the handling of Trump’s proposed 25 percent tariffs on the country – an issue that could damage the economy.
Sources told the Globe and Mail that they did not know definitely when Trudeau would announce his plans to leave but said they expect it would happen before a emergency meeting of Liberal legislators on Wednesday.
