Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is coming under fire for refusing to outright condemn US President Donald Trump's handling of the escalating anti-racism protests across the U-S.

But former Green Party leader Elizabeth May says she understands Trudeau is in a difficult position because of the need to maintain trade relations with the US.
