PM Trudeau says Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by what is happening in Washington

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken a low-key approach to the pro-Trump violence in Washington.

Trudeau spoke about the situation in a radio interview today on News 1130 in Vancouver.

He says his government will continue to make sure Canadians are well served in their relationship with the US.

Trudeau also expressed hope that everything will return to normal shortly.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by what is happening.

World leaders are condemning the storming of the US Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump.

Leaders expressed shock at the chaos that unfolded in a country they once relied upon for global leadership.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain called images of the violence, "disgraceful scenes."

Meantime, Trump has falsely claimed again that he won the election and tweeted for the rioters to go home and be peaceful when it was he who egged them on this morning.

PM Trudeau's tweet:

Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by the attack on democracy in the United States, our closest ally and neighbour. Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the US must be upheld - and it will be.
