Canadian PM Trudeau to resign after nine years in power

Canadian PM Trudeau to resign after nine years in power

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he will step down within months after nine years in power, citing internal party divisions and poor polling for the Liberal Party ahead of the next election. Trudeau will remain in office until a new leader is chosen, with parliament suspended until March 24. Recent polls show Conservatives leading with 45% support, while Liberals and New Democrats trail at 20% each. Trudeau’s decision follows economic challenges, including rising prices and housing shortages, and criticism from within his party. Meanwhile, tensions with the U.S. loom, as President-elect Trump threatens tariffs and suggests Canada join the U.S. as its 51st state.
