Justin Trudeau has announced he will step down after nine years as Canadian prime minister in the face of a mounting set of crises, but stay in office until a replacement party leader is chosen.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that he would resign from his roles as prime minister and Liberal Party leader. Trudeau’s resignation will abruptly end an impressive political career stalled by domestic economic problems and a growing feud with the incoming Trump administration.

Canada's Liberal Party will elect a new leader following Justin Trudeau's resignation. Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland are leading candidates.
