Canada-PM Justin Trudeau speechless for 21 seconds when questioned about Trump

Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau appeared to be briefly lost for words when asked about the use of tear gas on protesters angered by racial inequality in the US.

“We all watch in horror and consternation what’s going on in the United States,” the Canadian prime minister said on Tuesday at a daily news briefing, after a reporter pressed him on Trump’s idea of using soldiers against protesters. He then added that Canadians were watching their southern neighbour with “horror and consternation”

Trudeau talked about the need to fight racism in Canada, something he has spoken about since the killing of Floyd in Minneapolis last week sparked US protests.

When a reporter asked for further comment on Trump’s words and actions, Trudeau said: “My job as a Canadian prime minister is to stand up for Canadians.”
