Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is likely to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party this week, the Globe and Mail reported, citing information from three people it didn’t name. 

Trudeau has been under pressure from elected lawmakers in his party to quit for months  — and it increased further when Chrystia Freeland, his finance minister, stepped down on Dec. 16, saying she and the prime minister were at odds on policy. 

Liberal lawmakers are scheduled to hold a caucus meeting on Wednesday. Trudeau’s resignation would trigger a race for the party leadership, with the winner becoming prime minister.
