Washington (USA), Jan. 6 (LaPresse) – Justin Trudeau is reportedly set to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party. This is being reported by various Canadian and U.S. media outlets. The announcement, expected around 10:45 a.m. local time, will trigger a leadership race for the party and the country, after nearly a decade of Trudeau's leadership.

The Canadian Prime Minister has been under pressure in recent days due to internal unrest within his party, which began with the resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland on December 16.
