Trudeau expected to announce resignation this week: report

Lefty Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation from office this week, according to a report.

Three sources told the Globe and Mail, a Canadian outlet, on Sunday that Trudeau, 53, could reveal he’s leaving as Liberal Party Leader before a critical national caucus meeting on Wednesday.

It was unclear what day he could announce his resignation, but it reportedly could happen as early as Monday, the sources said.

The bombshell report comes as an embattled Trudeau has faced increasing calls for his resignation as a Donald Trump presidency – and the threat of 25% tariffs on all products north of the border – looms large.

The prime minister was struck with a devastating blow after his then-finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, quit last month over a deepening divide between the two over the future of Canada’s economy.

One of the sources told the Globe and Mail Trudeau knows he needs to announce his resignation before the Liberal caucus meets on Wednesday so it doesn’t appear he was pushed out by his own members.
