Justin Trudeau announced in a press conference his resignation as leader of the Liberal party he has led since 2013 and that he will remain in office as prime minister until a new leader is chosen.
A move that comes against the backdrop of a crisis in his minority government, with the exit of the NDP party that supported him externally and the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, in dissent over the response to Donald Trump’s threat of tariffs .
With his exit, Trudeau, prime minister since 2015, probably puts an end to his political career.
