Since taking office as the U.S. President, Donald Trump has been making sensational decisions. Particularly, by imposing tariffs, he has impacted Canada, Mexico, and China. After his victory, Trump made controversial remarks targeting Canada, stating that Canada should become the "51st state" of America, and its Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should be the governor. However, Trudeau objected to these comments.

Once again, Trump has targeted Canada, suggesting on Thursday that it should be annexed as the 51st state. He also wished for the U.S. hockey team to win against Canada. His remarks escalated tensions ahead of the tournament final in Boston, USA. During the four-nation tournament held in Montreal, which included the U.S., Canada, Sweden, and Finland, Canadian fans hurled abuses while the U.S. national anthem was being played.

After the morning practice, Trump called the U.S. team and wished them success. The White House confirmed that Trump would be watching the match. On social media, Trump posted that he encouraged the team to win against Canada, which might soon become America's 51st state due to its lower taxes and strong security. Earlier, while addressing U.S. governors in Washington, he expressed disappointment about not being able to attend the match personally. On Truth Social, he wrote, "If Governor Trudeau wants to join us, he is welcome." The U.S. and Canada reached the finals after defeating Finland and Sweden, and the match has now turned into a heated battle between the two nations.
