Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is reportedly planning to announce his resignation as leader of the ruling Liberal Party, according to sources. While no final decision has been made, an announcement is expected before an emergency meeting of Liberal politicians on Wednesday. It is unclear whether Trudeau would leave immediately or stay on until a new leader is selected. Trudeau has faced criticism from MPs and pressure from his own cabinet since December, when his finance minister resigned. Unlike the UK, there is no formal process for removing Trudeau from his position. However, if enough members of his cabinet and MPs call for his resignation, he may feel compelled to step down. An election is expected in Canada by October, with the Liberals predicted to lose to the Conservatives. Trudeau’s office has not yet commented on the reports.
