Singer-songwriter Christopher Cross apologizes to a Canadian audience and criticizes U.S. President Donald Trump during a concert at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre. According to multiple outlets, Cross says he is “very sorry and embarrassed” about the U.S. having “an asshole for president,” addressing the remark to the crowd.
The reports frame the comments as occurring amid broader political and economic tensions between the United States and Canada. One outlet also connects Cross’s remarks to a trade dispute, while another focuses primarily on the apology and the direct language used toward Trump. Both accounts agree on the setting—Cross’s live performance in Toronto—and on the thrust of his message: an apology directed at Canadians followed by a personal condemnation of Trump.
Neither source indicates that Cross later retracts the statement or offers a different explanation. The coverage centers on what he says onstage and how audiences and media interpret the criticism in the context of ongoing U.S.-Canada relations.
