President Donald Trump has bizarrely claimed that China is plotting to "terminate ALL ice hockey" in Canada as he threatened to block a new suspension bridge between the U.S. and its northern neighbor.
...

"I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve.
...

"The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup," Trump claimed, without explaining how exactly this would be done.
...

Named after famed Detroit hockey player and Canadian national Gordon Howe, the new bridge has been under construction since 2018 and was entirely funded by the Canadian government, which will recoup its money by collecting bridge tolls.

We could use Bobbie Probert about now to deal with this hoser.
