Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce as soon as Monday that he will step down as leader of the Liberal Party, The Globe and Mail reported Sunday, citing three sources.
Sources told the Globe and Mail they did not know exactly when Trudeau would announce his plans to leave, but said he expected it to be before a key national caucus meeting on Wednesday.
It is unclear whether Trudeau will step down immediately or remain as prime minister until a new leader is elected, the report said.
Trudeau took over as Liberal leader in 2013 when the party was struggling and fell to third place in the House of Commons for the first time.
