Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime to win the 4 Nations ice hockey competition. On X, formerly Twitter, Trudeau wrote: “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game.” The post went viral receiving more than 31,000 retweets and 4.8 million views.
You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Before the match Trump goaded the Canadians on his Truth Social website, sending a message to the U.S. team “to spur them on towards victory tonight against Canada” which “will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State.”
Trump also once again referred to the Canadian prime minister as “Governor Trudeau.” Similar comments were made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt who said: “We look forward to the United States beating our soon to be 51st state.”
