(WATCH) Canada Prime Minister's 20 seconds of silence

When asked about rioting in the U.S. and the response to it, Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, found himself temporarily at a loss for words.

Note: The reporter's question has a fact error in it. The protesters outside the White House were not "tear gassed" in order to make way for President Trump. According to Secret Service, no tear gas was used. Also, the agency says the protesters had become violent, throwing items at police and grabbing at their weapons.
