Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced his resignation after facing pressure from his party amid poor poll results. Trudeau, who has served since 2015, stated that he will step down as leader of the Liberal Party, allowing for a new leader to emerge.

He cited "internal battles" as a reason, acknowledging that he "cannot be the best option" for the next election. His departure comes as the Liberals face a potential defeat from the Conservatives in the next election. Trudeau's popularity has waned due to rising living costs and immigration issues.
