Lol, just like they did when disagreeing during the Korean, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iraq, and Iraq wars (among many, many others)?

Trump has a court that will do mental gymnastics to spin it to themselves. Trump himself has no problem with the deaths of US citizens, let alone Canadians. The US has no qualms about making excuses to go to war, either. Here's two examples:

Made up a naval attack https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_incident

Falsely claimed WMDs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction
