From the American people: Prime Minister Trudeau, Please accept the American Peoples, sincerest apology for our administrations actions and verbal assault upon you. You did nothing to deserve it. Your remarks were both polite and a measured response intended for the Canadian people and the overwhelming majority of American's are aware of that.
Why is this important?
I have never been so ashamed to be American as when our Government officials spoke to another world leader with those insulting remarks. At any other time in our history they would both have been fired immediately.
