Breaking: Canadian PM Justin Trudeau set to resign ahead of crucial meeting, reports say
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as early as Monday, according to The Globe and Mail. Sources indicated that Trudeau plans to step down before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday. The exact timing of the announcement remains unclear, with speculation about whether he will leave immediately or stay until a new leader is selected.
Trudeau became the Liberal leader in 2013 when the party was struggling, having been reduced to third place in the House of Commons. His leadership revived the party, but now, with polls showing the Liberals losing to the Conservatives, his departure adds uncertainty. It comes at a crucial time, with an election set by late October.
The resignation could lead to calls for an early election to establish a new government, especially in preparation for President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. Trudeau has reportedly discussed the possibility of Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc stepping in as interim leader and prime minister. However, this would be complicated if LeBlanc intends to run for leadership.
The Canadian Prime Minister’s office did not respond to requests for comment, leaving the situation in flux. Trudeau’s departure would leave the Liberals without a permanent leader, raising questions about the party’s direction in the coming months.
