Lefty Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation from office this week, according to a report.

According to information obtained by the Globe and Mail from three sources, the Canadian Prime Minister, aged 53, might announce his decision to step down as the leader of the Liberal Party. This announcement could potentially happen before an important national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

It was unclear what day he could announce his resignation, but it reportedly could happen as early as Monday, the sources said.

The bombshell report comes as an embattled Trudeau has faced increasing calls for his resignation as a Donald Trump presidency – and the threat of 25% tariffs on all products north of the border – looms large.

The prime minister was struck with a devastating blow after his then-finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, quit last month over a deepening divide between the two over the future of Canada’s economy.

One of the sources told the Globe and Mail Trudeau knows he needs to announce his resignation before the Liberal caucus meets on Wednesday so it doesn’t appear he was pushed out by his own members.

It was unknown if Trudeau, who has led Canada for nearly a decade, would stick around as prime minister until a new leader is picked or leave right away, according to the outlet.

A fourth source said he would only step down because he believes the caucus no longer supports him and not because he doesn’t think he can still do the job.  

The Liberal Party is widely expected to lose power to the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilevre in an election that must be held by late October based on public polling.

Trudeau has consistently been needled by Trump since the Republican won November’s presidential election. The incoming commander in chief even suggested Canada become the United States’ 51st state.
