Justin Trudeau Delivers Emotional Farewell as Canadian PM Prepares to Step Down

Trudeau reflects on nearly a decade in office, addressing tariffs and challenges as his successor is set to be chosen by the Liberal Party.

Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister for nearly ten years, gave a tearful farewell speech, emphasizing his commitment to putting Canadians first during his tenure.
Trudeau confirmed he will not remain as a caretaker prime minister, with the Liberal Party set to choose his successor on Sunday.
The leadership race is expected to favor former central banker Mark Carney over former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, with the new leader likely to assume office next week.
Trudeau highlighted key challenges of his premiership, including managing U.S. relations under Donald Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic, and global crises like Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
As he prepares to leave office, Trudeau faces ongoing trade tensions with the U.S., with retaliatory tariffs temporarily paused until April 2, leaving the issue for his successor to navigate.
