Sheinbaum's government is confident that the benefits of the trade agreement and pragmatism will prevail over the conservative turn and anti-Mexican rhetoric in Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his resignation on Monday, saying he intends to step down from that role and the leadership of the Liberal Party once a new party leader is elected.
“I intend to step down as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its new leader,” the 53-year-old told reporters at a news conference in Ottawa on Monday.
Canada’s parliament will be suspended until March 24 while a new Liberal Party leader is elected, he added.
Trudeau added that he has “one regret”: failing to reform Canada’s electoral process ahead of general elections scheduled for this fall.
“If I have one regret, particularly now that the election is coming up, well, I’ll probably be the one thinking of a lot of them,” the outgoing leader said. “But I wish we could change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could just pick a second choice, or a third choice on the same ballot.”
