Several political crises have followed us into 2025. In Canada, Justin Trudeau is expected to announce his resignation as leader of the Liberal Party this week, the Globe and Mail reported, a move that would trigger a contest to replace him as prime minister. Trudeau has been under pressure from elected lawmakers in his party to quit for months, and that has intensified since Chrystia Freeland, his finance minister, stepped down on Dec. 16, saying she and the prime minister were at odds on policy. The Globe report, which cited people the newspaper didn’t identify, did not say that Trudeau has firmly made up his mind to give up power. Over in Asia, South Korean corruption investigators have asked police to carry out the arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol after their own attempt last week ended in failure following an hours-long standoff with his security team.
