It's Tuesday, 7 January. Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. Let's get briefed. Heute beginnen wir mit den wichtigen Nachrichten aus Kanada. Justin Trudeau ist als Premierminister nach fast einer Dekade im Büro, an die Anrufe zu steigen, um zu steigen. Später in der Show haben wir das Neueste aus dem Mittleren Osten.

Israel ist mit Hamas zu einer Zerstörung zu diskutieren, während sie beurteilt, dass ihre Krieg mit Hezbollah vielleicht auf dem Weg zum Verlust ist. Plus, President Biden, I remember him, announced a last-minute executive action on Monday, banning new drilling and further oil and gas development across over, get this, 625 million acres of U.S. coastal and offshore waters.

Und in heute's Back of the Brief, Secretary of State Antony Blinken issues a warning in his final days about Russia possibly transferring advanced technology to North Korea. Well, of course they are. This is not a pro bono arrangement for North Korea to provide troops to Russia. But first, today's PDB Spotlight.

We'll begin with a major bombshell out of Canada, where the curtains are closing on the political career of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau announced Monday that he'll be stepping down as leader of Canada's Liberal Party and resigning as Prime Minister in the coming months, after serving in the role for nearly a decade.

134.741 - 159.154 Mike Baker

The surprise move caps off weeks of interparty squabbles, and when was the last time you heard someone say squabble, and mounting calls from party members for Trudeau to step aside. In fact, one of his most loyal allies, Chrystia Freeland, abruptly resigned from her role as finance minister in mid-December, rebuking Trudeau over what she felt was his failed stewardship of the country.

Her Resignation left his party in tatters going into an election year and only increased the infighting. Staring down the barrel of a worsening economic crisis and pre-election polling showing the Liberal Party has grown wildly unpopular under his leadership, Trudeau wurde mit wenigen Chancen verlassen.

178.894 - 196.313 Mike Baker

In einem Anruf am Montag sagte ein somberer Trudeau, dass er sich sowohl als Premierpräsident als auch als liberaler Führer bis Ende März behalten würde, sobald seine Partei einen neuen Chef wählt. Er bezeichnete den internen Rift mit der liberalen Partei als den führigen Faktor für seine Wahl, sich zu verlassen.

There was also the looming threat that the opposition party would bring down Trudeau's minority government with a no-confidence motion once Parliament returned to session. Trudeau said, quote, End quote.
