Justin Trudeau takes savage dig at US after Canada’s thrilling 4 Nations championship win over Americans
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a shot at the US on Thursday night after his country’s hockey team defeated the Americans in the highly anticipated 4 Nations championship game.
“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the outgoing prime minister declared in a terse statement posted to X after Team Canada beat their North American neighbors 3-2 in overtime.
Trudeau’s message was a not-so-veiled response to President Trump’s repeated threats to turn Canada into the 51st state.
Despite Trudeau’s public assertion in keeping Canada a sovereign state, he seems to be less confident behind closed doors.
While speaking to business and labor leaders earlier this month, the prime minister was caught on a hot mic acknowledging that Trump’s call to annex Canada was “a real thing.”
