Watch: Trudeau asked about Trump, pauses for 20 seconds

The Canadian leader, however, did not offer an immediate answer and chose to be silent for more than 20 seconds.
Finally, he said, "We all watch in horror and consternation what’s going on in the United States. It is a time to pull people together, but it is a time to listen, it is a time to learn what injustices continue despite progress over years and decades. But it is a time for us as Canadians to recognize that we too have our challenges, that black Canadians and racialized Canadians face discrimination as a lived reality every single day."
Trudeau continued by speaking about the systemic discrimination racialized Canadians face within Canada, but did not directly speak about Trump’s position on the issue of the violent protests or even mention him by name.

  1. Trudeau's in a difficult position. If he says nothing, he's guilty of not hating Trump sufficiently in public. If he says something and Trump finds out, suddenly we get tariffs and economic pushback. I can't stand the guy but he handled the situation perfectly.
