Trudeau: 'It is a time to listen, to learn what injustices continue despite progress over years and decades.'
"We all watch in horror and consternation what's going on in the United States," Trudeau said on Tuesday at a daily news briefing, after a reporter pressed him on Trump's idea of using soldiers against protesters.
"It is a time to pull people together," Trudeau said."It is a time to listen, to learn what injustices continue despite progress over years and decades." 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."
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, a former reporter, separately defended the work of American journalists who have been targeted by both police and protesters.
