Ottawa Fans Boo U.S. Anthem Over Tariffs

Canadian hockey fans booed the U.S. national anthem at an Ottawa Senators game following President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. The tariffs include a 25% tax on Canadian goods, prompting a retaliatory response from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with matching tariffs on U.S. imports. The booing at the Canadian Tire Centre reflected public frustration over the economic impact these tariffs could have on both nations. Fans expressed their discontent during the anthem performance by Canadian singer Mandia, although she continued with composure. The tariffs are anticipated to cause significant disruption, potentially leading to higher prices and job losses, as warned by Canadian officials. The incident highlights the broader tensions between the U.S. and Canada over trade policies.
