During a meeting in the Oval Office with Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump expressed his admiration for Canada, referring to it as a 'very special place.' He also included a mention of Russian hockey player Alex Ovechkin, acknowledging his recent record-breaking achievements in the NHL. While discussing trade and relationships, Trump playfully suggested the idea of making Canada the 51st stateâan assertion that Carney visibly rejected. Trump shared personal ties to Canada, highlighting his family's connections and his respect for Canadian hockey players.
Canada is a very special place to me, Trump said. I know so many people that live in Canada. My parents had relatives that lived in Canada.
You happen to have a very, very good hockey player right here on the Capitals who I have a lot of respect [for]. He is a big, tough cookie, too.
