Trudeau, to step down as Canadian Prime Minister

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as leader of the ruling Liberal Party today, marking the end of his nine-year tenure. However, he will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen.

Trudeau’s resignation comes amid a series of crises, including a diplomatic row with India and a threat from US President-elect Donald Trump to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.

Additionally, Trudeau has faced criticism for his handling of domestic issues, such as inflation and immigration, which have led to a decline in his popularity ratings. His rating has dropped significantly since he took office.

Trudeau has also been embroiled in several controversies, including ethics scandals, criticism for taking a holiday on a billionaire’s private island, and diplomatic blunders. These controversies, combined with the current crises, have likely contributed to Trudeau’s decision to step down as leader of the Liberal Party.
