Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned U.S. President Donald Trump for inciting his followers to mount a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol this week.
“What we witnessed was an assault on democracy by violent rioters, incited by the current president and other politicians,” Trudeau told reporters Friday in Ottawa. “Violence has no place in our societies and extremists will not succeed in overruling the will of the people.”
