    Trudeau Considers Resignation Amid Cabinet Departures, Including Finance Minister Freeland

    Dec 16, 2024, 06:58 PM

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is considering resigning or proroguing Parliament, according to sources cited by CTV News. Reports indicate that Trudeau has conveyed to his cabinet that he is contemplating these options amid rising tensions within the government. These tensions follow the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland earlier today, reportedly over disagreements on handling U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats. Several cabinet members are said to have resigned, and Liberal MPs are publicly urging Trudeau to step down. Trudeau, who has become increasingly unpopular, is expected to address Parliament this afternoon, potentially providing further details on the situation.
