Bill Guerin said on Fox News that Trump’s presence would give a boost to the rivalry between the North American hockey powers.

Bill Guerin, the general manager of the U.S. men’s national team at the 4 Nations Face-off, rejoiced at the notion that President Donald Trump should be at the USA-Canada final on Thursday.

Guerin was asked whether the Canadian crowd booing the U.S. national anthem, a direct result of the political tensions sparked by President Donald Trump's threats to impose significant tariffs on Canada and repeated suggestions it should become America's 51st state, contributed to the intense first game and Team USA's performance.
