Many states in the US witnessed riots condemning the same. While Trump threatened to use military forces against protestors. 

Recently, when a reporter asked Justin Trudeau about the whole situation, he took a long pause. A pause that lasted 20 seconds! 

And, gave a reply that not only addressed the situation in the US but racism in Canada as well. 

To answer the reporter’s question, Justin shared his thoughts about what’s happening in the US.

While there were a few who were all praises for what he had to say,

There were also many who criticised him for tiptoeing around the problem and not actually addressing it. 

Well, whatever the case, we as humans, need to be better!
