Hockey fans in Ottawa expressed their dissatisfaction with US after the Trump administration introduced new tariffs against Canada.
Canadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem during an NHL game in Ottawa on Saturday. The spectators' expression of displeasure with US comes after the administration of US President Donald Trump imposed new 25% trade tariffs on Canada.
The incident took place at the Canadian Tire Center before the Ottawa Senators took on the Minnesota Wild. As Canadian singer Mandia began to perform the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’, numerous spectators jeered the song. The crowd booed steadily through the beginning of the Star-Spangled Banner. They also booed over the peacemakers who tried to clap them down at the end. However, the mood changed when she sang ‘O Canada’, which drew applause and widespread cheers.
Ottawa Senators went on to defeat the Minnesota Wild 6-0.
