President Trump is stirring the pot before a major hockey clash Thursday between the U.S. and Canada, using the occasion to revive his offer of making America’s northern neighbor the 51st state.
Mr. Trump said he planned to call the American team before it faced Canada in Boston in the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off, a mini-tournament that also featured Finland and Sweden.
The president, writing on Truth Social, said he would spur the U.S. “on towards victory tonight against Canada, which with FAR LOWER TAXES AND MUCH STRONGER SECURITY, will someday, maybe soon, become our cherished, and very important, Fifty First State.”
Mr. Trump said he wanted to attend the game but will be speaking to governors in Washington.
He said departing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is welcome to join the state leaders, again likening him to a governor.
“We will all be watching, and if Governor Trudeau would like to join us, he would be most welcome. Good luck to everybody, and have a GREAT game tonight. So exciting!” Mr. Trump wrote.
The president opened his second term with an aggressive approach toward Canada, a critical trading partner.

It’s a heads I win tails you lose type of game. If Canada wins it will just be the 51st state winning as has happened in the past.
The NHL loves this, the ratings for this are going to be Yuge, thanks to Trump.
Imagine if only the Russians could have been a part of it.
Canada as a 51st state would give the left a permanent majority.
“Canada as a 51st state would give the left a permanent majority.”
Yeah, that’s a Yuge problem....
Even giving Quebec to France wouldn’t fix the problem.
What would go on the flag? A maple leaf? Hmmm...
I know he’s trolling, yet they are very left. That would sink the US.
Canada as a 51st state would give the left a permanent majority.
><
It certainly would.
Canada is going to remain Canada.
Loser had to take Quebec! It’s a done deal. Saw it on X.
No way. Texas would split into 5 states to save the country.
Watching the pre-game. The US coach just had a conference call with President Trump with a full locker room. He said he was disappointed he (DJT) could not attend the game but they will be doing their best for the nation.
President Trump complimented them and wished them well- and the locker room applauded.
They're sensitive lol
Here’s the video of President Trump addressing the team on facebook:
