Trudeau under growing pressure to condemn Trump over U.S. unrest

Freeland would not answer questions about Trump and instead focused her responses on the need to deal with racism and anti-black discrimination in Canada.

“I think that the most-important response of any Canadian political leader has to be to understand our own responsibility for what happens here in our own country,” she said.

Freeland was also asked if Trudeau’s silent pause from Tuesday was a calculated move or if it was spontaneous.

“I think the prime minister’s answer yesterday was excellent and it was eloquent.”

I agree with Freeland. I thought his response was good. Also have people forgotten that the PM has to keep negotiating with Trump to keep the borders closed during a pandemic, while also ensuring essential trade comes through? Its easy for others to say whatever they are thinking when their words won't have consequences for our entire country.
