During a White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a humorous remark calling Canada the 'soon-to-be 51st state' while discussing the heated U.S.-Canada hockey rivalry at the 4 Nations Face-Off. The first game was intense with three fights, igniting anticipation for the rematch. Amidst this sports rivalry, political tensions exist, particularly due to President Trump's previous comments about tariffs and annexation. Trump actively engaged with the U.S. hockey team, highlighting the crossover of sports and politics in this unique rivalry.
I believe they're going to put out a video of that call.
President Trump had actually spoken with Team USA's players after the first win.
