Experts: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to step down

Justin Trudeau announced today that he will be stepping down as leader of the Liberal Party and as prime minister of Canada after his party selects its next leader in a competitive process. In the meantime, Parliament has been prorogued until March 24. The announcement follows weeks of speculation. Growing numbers of Liberal MPs have called for his resignation.
