Trudeau Pauses For 20 Seconds Before Responding To Question On Trump

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, when asked about U.S. PresidentPresidentPresident Donald Trump possibly calling in the military to quell protests, paused for more than 20 seconds before responding that Canadians were observing events in the U.S. with horror.

"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.

The reporter also sought comment on the tear-gassing of U.S. protesters on Monday "to make way for a presidential photo op."
