Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resigned. Trudeau’s resignation comes amid growing demand for his resignation within the Liberal Party. At the same time, he said that the Prime Minister will remain in office until a new leader is chosen.
Trudeau’s resignation comes at a time when Canada’s relationship with India continues to deteriorate. Recently, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned in opposition to Trudeau’s policies.
Trudeau has been Prime Minister for 9 years. Trudeau took over as Liberal leader in 2013 when the party was in dire straits. However, Trudeau’s party has fared poorly in recent elections. After this, there was a demand within the Liberal Party that Trudeau should resign. Over the past month, several MPs have called for the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
