Trudeau Stays Silent On Trump’s Behaviour As George Floyd Protests Spread

etcanada.com:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t sharing what he thinks about U.S. President Donald Trump’s language and behaviour amid escalating anti-racism protests, despite facing pointed questions on Tuesday.

The United States’ president has threatened to deploy the military if states don’t mobilize their National Guard units against protesters expressing their anger over the death of unarmed Black men.

On Monday, police cleared a crowd of largely peaceful protesters using tear gas and other means of force for a presidential photo-op at a historic Washington, D.C., church.

At a news conference on Tuesday, a journalist asked Trudeau what he thought about those actions and what message he believes he’s sending if he doesn’t comment on them.
