President Donald Trump called out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after Team Canada emerged victorious over Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday night.

The highly anticipated final between the Canadians and Americans was extra hyped and emotional because of political tensions between the historic allies. Donald Trump suggested that Canada become the 51st state, and the two leaders threatened to impose tariffs on the other country before agreeing to halt them.

Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal in overtime to clinch a 3-2 victory for Canada in the championship game. McDavid rifled the game-winning shot over Connor Hellebuyck to give Canada its fourth straight victory in a best-on-best tournament.

After Canada won, Justin Trudeau Trudeau took to X/Twitter and seemingly took a shot at Donald Trump with a pair of posts:


True to form, Trump angrily clapped back atTrudeau in a scathing rant during an interview on “The Brian Kilmeade Show.” Trump also suggested that Trudeau would lose the next Canadian election, even though the latter already announced his plans to resign.
Trump has been highly critical of Trudeau during his two terms as president. In 2018, Trump called the Canadian Prime Minister “meek and wild” for his behavior during the G7 meetings.

Hours before the game, President Trump spoke on the phone with Team USA GM Bill Guerin and the players. Trump wished the players luck and expressed confidence that they would emerge victorious, though McDavid and Canada had other ideas.
