Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is reported to be considering stepping down amid a crisis that saw his own finance minister resign over Donald Trump’s threat to hike trade tariffs.

The stunning move raised questions about how much longer the prime minister of nearly 10 years — whose popularity has plummeted due to concerns about inflation and immigration — can stay on.

Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from Justin Trudeau's Cabinet on Monday, a powerful blow to the Liberal Prime Minister's hold on the government.
