Trudeau Mocks Trump Over Ice Hockey Triumph

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may have aimed a sly dig at the new man in the White House, Donald Trump. Trump previously suggested annexing Canada as the 51st state of the US.

Trudeau likely thought, 'You can't even beat us at ice hockey.' Team Canada won the thrilling game 3-2 in overtime.

Reports emerged recently that Trudeau seriously feared a potential American invasion at the behest of Republicans. He pointed to Canada's critical minerals as a possible motive, stating, 'They are very aware of our resources, what we have, and they are eager to benefit from that. One of the easiest ways to do that is by absorbing our country.'

The relationship between the two leaders is far from warm, with Trump publicly referring to Trudeau as 'governor' instead of prime minister.
