Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is facing criticism from within his own Liberal Party following Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s resignation.
Freeland, a close ally, left due to a policy clash and criticized Trudeau’s leadership. Polls show the Liberals could lose to the opposition Conservatives in the next election.
Trudeau held a meeting with his caucus to address their concerns, with some members urging him to reflect on the situation.
Trudeau appointed Dominic LeBlanc as the new finance minister, and a cabinet reshuffle is expected soon, Reuters has reported.
Trudeau’s leadership is now under scrutiny, with speculation about his future and a potential leadership race if he resigns.
