A senior government source in Canada says it’s a “done deal” that Trudeau will leave his post and “it’s now just about how”, the AFP news agency reports.
Canadian media reports Trudeau will step down as Liberal leader, but will remain as PM until the party chooses a replacement.
Trudeau has been under growing pressure from within his party and elsewhere to step down
The source did not immediately indicate whether Trudeau would resign as Liberal Party leader and stay on as a caretaker prime minister, according to the news agency.
As we reported earlier, Canada’s public broadcaster is reporting that Trudeau intends to continue his PM duties until his successor is chosen.
