Trudeau Under Pressure After Freeland Resignation

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing internal and external pressures following the surprise resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who cited disagreements with Trudeau and warned of challenges from the incoming Trump administration's tariff threats. Amidst calls for Trudeau's resignation from within his own party, he is attempting to shift focus by planning a cabinet reshuffle. U.S. President-elect Donald Trump mocked Trudeau and labeled Freeland's behavior as 'toxic,' underscoring tensions between the U.S. and Canada as Trump threatened new tariffs on Canadian goods. Freeland's resignation has intensified scrutiny on Trudeau's leadership, with significant numbers of Liberal lawmakers expressing a desire for his departure. The situation remains fluid as Trudeau seeks to stabilize his government and address economic challenges posed by potential U.S. tariffs.
