Amid ongoing political tensions between the U.S. and Canada, President Donald Trump has raised the stakes by promoting the idea of absorbing Canada as the “51st state” and imposing tariffs on the country. This has led to booing of the American national anthem at sporting events in Canada, including a recent matchup between Team USA and Team Canada. The game was marked by three fights at the start, with players on both teams condemning the booing. The American players revealed that they had planned for the fights in a group chat, while the Canadian players emphasized playing for their country and not initiating conflicts. The general manager of Team USA invited Trump to attend the next game, and Trump called in to speak with the American players before the championship bout. He taunted Canada on social media, predicting victory over them and hinting at the possible absorption of Canada as a state. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in attendance at the game, and experts predicted that the political backdrop would add intensity to the players’ performance, likening it to a Stanley Cup Final Game 7. The political tensions and rhetoric from Trump have added a new level of excitement and competition to the sporting event between the two nations.
