President Trump humorously claimed that hockey legend Wayne Gretzky would play a pivotal role in deciding whether Canada becomes the U.S.'s 51st state. This comment has drawn mixed reactions in Canada, with some viewing it as a joke while others like politician Mark Carney express serious concerns about U.S. military threats. Trump lauded Gretzky as a great Canadian and friend, suggesting he has the power to influence Canada's future, causing debates on sovereignty and military expenditure amid international tensions.
Trump emphasized Gretzky's influence, suggesting, 'According to me, Canada's future is in the hands of Gretzky: Wayne Gretzky is a fantastic guy! They call him, The Great One, and he is.'
Gretzky's potential role has stirred political discussions in Canada, prompting Mark Carney to voice concerns: '... we needed to bolster military spending to protect against threats from China, Russia, and the US.'
