Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau to Step Down

Investing.com -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday his intention to step down from both the Prime Ministership and party leadership. His resignation will take effect after the Liberal Party selects its next leader through a comprehensive national competition. Trudeau stated that he has asked the Liberal Party president to initiate the leadership election process. He expressed his belief that Canada deserves a real choice in the upcoming election. "This country deserves a real option in the next election, and it has become clear that if I have to deal with internal struggles, I cannot be the best option," Trudeau said at a press conference.
