Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation, ending a nine-year tenure marked by progressive policies and global leadership. The surprise decision comes amid mounting political pressure and escalating tensions with the U.S., where President-elect Donald Trump controversially proposed making Canada the 51st state.

Trudeau’s resignation paves the way for a new Liberal Party leader to navigate the nation through challenging times, including Trump’s threats of tariffs and sovereignty disputes. As Canada faces a turning point, the world watches closely.
