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.
