Trudeau\u2019s initial post was in reference to Canada claiming a 3-2 victory <\/a>over the U.S. in the 2025 4 Nations face-off. His \u201cyou can\u2019t take our country\u201d remark was a pointed reference at Trump\u2019s desire to annex Canada<\/a> and make it the \u201c51st state\u201d\u2014something he has continued to speak on.<\/p>\n A notable moment in the long-standing U.S.-Canada rivalry, the Winter Olympics hockey final in Milan on Sunday saw the USA men\u2019s team claim its first gold since 1980 in an intense 2-1 victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n Similar to the White House, Trump also took to social media to poke fun at the score.<\/p>\n Early Monday morning, he posted a screenshot<\/a> of Trudeau\u2019s former comment on his Truth Social page. He then proceeded to share what appeared to be an AI-generated video of himself<\/a>, in a suit, playing alongside Team USA and scoring a goal against Canada. \u201cTrump, the enforcer!\u201d read a re-posted remark from Kari Lake, the Administration\u2019s senior advisor for the United States Agency for Global Media.<\/p>\n Trump previously celebrated Team USA\u2019s success on Sunday night\u2014praising their performance in hockey, but also overall. \u201cWe\u2019re winning too much, it\u2019s just not fair!\u201d Trump said, after noting<\/a> that the Milano Cortina games saw Team USA break its record for its most gold medals won at a Winter Olympics. U.S athletes picked up<\/a> 12 golds, 12 silver, and nine bronze medals.<\/p>\n Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, meanwhile, said he \u201ccould not be more proud\u201d of his country\u2019s athletes. \u201cYou\u2019re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n The U.S.-Canada showdown on ice came amid raised political tensions between the neighbouring countries and their leadership. The two countries have clashed multiple times since Trump\u2019s return to office, with the U.S. President\u2019s annexation remarks and tariff threats proving to be a stumbling block for harmonious relations.<\/p>\n Trump recently threatened to block<\/a> the opening of the mutli-billion dollar Gordie Howe International Bridge between Ontario and Michigan. The crossing, named after a prolific Canadian ice hockey player, is set to open this year.<\/p>\n Trump lashed out at Canada again on Friday, taking aim at the country as he reacted to the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling that his sweeping tariffs are illegal. In a press conference held after the ruling, he repeated his claims that Canada has \u201cripped off\u201d America on trade for many years. <\/p>\n![\"Ice](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771850950_846_.jpeg\"\/)
