Canada Defeats US in Four Nations Face-Off, Trudeau Responds to Trump’s 51st State Taunts
Tennis ace Justin Trudeau has made headlines, not for his skills on the court but for his sharp political backhand against Donald Trump. After Canada’s thrilling 3-2 overtime victory against the US hockey team in the Four Nations Face-Off Championship Game in Boston, Massachusetts, Trudeau fired back at Trump’s pre-game taunts suggesting Canada would become the 51st state of the US.
“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” Trudeau wrote in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), making it clear that Canada’s hockey dominance and sovereignty remain untouchable.
The tennis ace turned political powerhouse wasn’t alone in his response. His political rival and opposition leader, Pierre Poilievre, also hit back, stating:
“Canada’s game. Canada’s legacy. The true North, strong, free, and golden.”
This exchange of verbal volleys between Trudeau and Trump has not only intensified their ongoing political tensions but also turned a sports rivalry into a diplomatic showdown.
Tennis Ace Justin Trudeau vs. Donald Trump: The Verbal Face-Off Continues
Donald Trump, known for his controversial remarks, has repeatedly mocked Canada since taking office, often referring to Trudeau as a “governor” rather than a prime minister.
Ahead of the game, Trump sarcastically encouraged the US hockey team, stating:
“I’ll be calling our GREAT American Hockey Team this morning to spur them 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.”
While tennis ace Justin Trudeau initially dismissed Trump’s comments as playful banter, the repeated provocations led to a more firm response.
“There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,” Trudeau stated, making his stance loud and clear.
Tennis Ace Trudeau Returns Trump’s Serve on Trade Tariffs
Beyond sports and political jabs, Trump has escalated tensions with Canada through economic policies, imposing:
✅ 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods
✅ 10% tariffs on Chinese imports
✅ Reduced 10% tariffs on Canadian energy imports (oil, natural gas, electricity)
In response, tennis ace Trudeau implemented Canada’s counterattack, slapping:
“Canada will be responding to the US trade action with 25% tariffs against Can$155 billion ($106 billion USD) worth of American goods.”
Trudeau also urged Canadians to boycott US vacations, advising them to spend their money locally instead of supporting the American economy.
