The ongoing political tensions between the U.S. and Canada have escalated, with President Donald Trump suggesting that the U.S. will absorb Canada as the “51st state” and threatening wide-ranging tariffs on the country. This has led to booing of the American national anthem at sporting events in Canada, including during a recent hockey game between the U.S. and Canada. The game was marked by three separate fights between players from both teams at the start.
Some players on the U.S. team had planned for the fights in a group chat ahead of time, while players on the Canadian team condemned the booing and focused on playing for their country. The general manager of Team USA invited Trump to attend the game, and Trump called in to speak with the American players before the championship bout. He taunted Canada on social media, suggesting that it may one day become the “51st state.”
After the game, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed his thoughts on social media, emphasizing that Canada’s country and its game cannot be taken away. The Canadian embassy did not respond to Trump’s comments and the ongoing tension between the two countries remains a significant issue.
