In a Christmas Day message, Donald Trump urged hockey great Wayne Gretzky to run for Prime Minister of Canada, referencing potential tariffs on Canadian goods as Trudeau faces internal pressure. Trump’s comments serve to ridicule Trudeau, who is under threat of a no-confidence vote, while bringing cultural context to U.S.-Canada relations. Despite Trump's suggestion, Gretzky reportedly has no interest in the political role. Trudeau's Liberal Party faces criticism amid economic challenges, with the Conservative Party gaining ground ahead of the next federal election.
