Canada’s Trudeau announces resignation following party pressure amid criticisms of Trump, budget handling
Fox News
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation after calls increased for his ouster over his handling of economic policies and threats levied by President-elect Trump that have threatened a 'tariff war.'
Though there was no official path for his party to boot him from the top job, the now former prime minister faced either the threat of a Parliamentary vote of no confidence, or a lengthy fight to hold on to his position until the October 2025 elections – either option was expected to see a crushing end to Trudeau’s time in office.

The long-time prime minister saw an increase in calls for his resignation, with at least seven Liberal Members of Parliament as well as from opposition party leaders calling on him to set aside, following the abrupt departure of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, who wrote a scathing letter of resignation, citing criticisms over his handling of certain economic policies as well as the threats levied by Trump.
