Will Justin Trudeau step down from office? With the Canadian PM declaring he will not run for reelection, speculation is rampant.

After the Canadian Prime Minister declared he will not run for reelection, there is increasing speculation that Justin Trudeau may leave politics.

Beleaguered, Justin Trudeau, Canada's outgoing prime minister, hinted that he may be leaving politics when he declared on Thursday that he will not run for re-election from Montreal in the country's next general elections. Days after declaring his intention to resign, he has decided not to contest in the upcoming general election.

Justin Trudeau was cited as stating, "In terms of my own decisions, I will not be running in the upcoming election."

Because to his handling of the economy and immigration policy, Justin Trudeau had been losing support among his fellow citizens and members of his own party. When his party elects a new leader in March, Justin Trudeau, who has been battered by the declining faith of his party members, plans to resign.

Justin Trudeau declared on Thursday that he had no intention of running in the next federal elections. Justin Trudeau was under pressure to step down, in part because of Donald Trump's threat of tariffs.

Donald Trump said last month that if Ottawa did not stop the flow of migrants and synthetic opioids like fentanyl from entering the US border, he would put 25% tariffs on all Canadian exports.

Justin Trudeau came to Mar-a-Lago for a dinner with Donald Trump to discuss the tariff and how it would ruin the Canadian economy. It seems that the US president-elect told Trudeau to make Canada the "51st state of America."

In response to Donald Trump's tariff threat, Canada has created a preliminary list of US-made goods worth C$150 billion ($105 billion) that would be subject to duties should the US president-elect carry out his threats. The items on that first list were not made public.

In response to Trump's 2018 tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, Canada imposed charges on a range of US-made goods, including whiskey and washing machines, as a pressure move meant to impact companies in regions where Republican lawmakers are active.
