Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly considering stepping down, ending his 9-year tenure as leader of the Liberal Party. Media sources claim he may announce his resignation before a scheduled caucus meeting on Wednesday. Trudeau’s popularity has declined sharply, with polls predicting a Liberal defeat in the next election, due by October 2025. His leadership faced challenges including Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's recent resignation over policy disagreements. Trudeau's potential successor would navigate a looming trade war with the US and mounting domestic issues. Trudeau rose to power in 2015 but now faces calls for fresh leadership.
