Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.

Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.

Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.

Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.

    Patriotism at work. Trump does all he can to insult Canada, and if people who govern Canada would allow it, they’d be seen as weak leaders. What they need is to work towards cutting any dependency on USA while defending their country worth.

    Also, Trump rules only thanks to his show. Getting bitchslapped like that does hurt him. ^^
