Crowds in Montreal loudly booed the U.S. national anthem before a 4 Nations ice hockey game between Canada and the United States on Saturday (February 15). In stark contrast, local fans passionately cheered and sang along to the Canadian anthem.

Reuters was able to independently verify the location by matching stadium details to file imagery. Date was verified through the original file metadata.

The tension stems from President Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose a 25% tariff on aluminum and steel imports starting Monday (February 10), eliminating all exemptions and quota agreements—moves that significantly impact Canada.

Canadians have also expressed their anger over Trump’s repeated remarks about potentially integrating Canada as a new U.S. state, even going so far as to refer to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a "governor."
