Trump suggests Gretzky for Canadian prime minister during Christmas visit
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump suggested Canadian hockey star Wayne Gretzky should run for prime minister during a Christmas visit. Trump claimed Gretzky declined the idea, expressing no interest in politics. Trump also reiterated his view that Canada could become a U.S. state, claiming it would benefit Canadians with tax cuts and military protection. He referred to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "governor" in his comments. Gretzky has previously supported Conservative politicians but has not shown interest in running for office. His agents have not yet responded to requests for comment.
