US Olympic hockey player distances himself from White House video trashing Canadians

(CNN) — While the Trump administration has shown no hesitation to bash Canada – especially after the US men’s Olympic hockey team won gold in overtime – one of the players took issue with a recent AI-generated TikTok posted by the White House that made it sound like he was trash-talking Canadians.

“They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple-syrup-eating-f**ks a lesson,” Team USA’s Brady Tkachuk appears to say in the video posted on the White House TikTok earlier this week. A disclaimer at the bottom of the video notes that it “contains AI-generated media,” with the clip appearing to modify footage from one of Tkachuk’s press conferences.

While Tkachuk won gold on the US men’s Olympic hockey team – beating Canada 2-1 – he plays professionally on a Canadian-based National Hockey League team, as captain of the Ottawa Senators.

But whatever animosity the White House directed toward Canada was not shared by the player himself, who told reporters on Thursday that he did not condone the video.

“It’s clearly fake, because it’s not my voice and not my lips moving,” Tkachuk said. “I’m not in control of any of those accounts and, uh, yeah so, I know that those words would never come out of my mouth, so can’t do anything about it.”

Pressed, if he liked the video, Tkachuk said, “I would never say that. That’s not who I am, so yeah, I guess I don’t like that video.”

“If you watch the video, that’s not my voice and something that I never say, and I don’t really know how that, kind of, took a storm on its own when I play here and give everything I have here,” Tkachuk said. “That’s something that – never a thought would happen in my head, and especially would never say it.”

“I would never say anything like that,” he added.

Four other players on the US men’s Olympic hockey team also play for Canada-based teams.

CNN has reached to the White House for comment on Tkachuk’s remarks and the video itself.

Commenting on Trump’s prior taunts to make Canada the 51st US state, Tkachuk told reporters, “I know I don’t want that, because I still want to play in the best-on-best tournaments.”

The TikTok is just the latest example of the White House mocking Canada as it promotes Team USA’s win and subsequent visit to Washington on social media.

On Monday, Trump posted an AI-generated video of himself playing hockey in a suit and red tie, throwing one Canadian player down on the ice and beating up another. Below the video was an old social media post from former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom Trump often referred to as “Governor,” which said, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game.”

The video ends with the AI-generated USA players hugging him.

Trump’s comments about the US women’s Olympic hockey team, which also won gold against Canada in the Olympics, also sparked controversy this week.

“I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team — you do know that,” Trump said over a speakerphone

Cancelan la Copa Mundial de Clavados tras ola de violencia que se vive en Jalisco, México

La Copa Mundial de Clavados que estaba programada a disputarse del 5 al 8 de marzo de 2026 en Zapopan, Jalisco, quedó cancelada luego de que diversas embajadas internacionales emitieran restricciones de viaje hacia México en medio del contexto de violencia que atraviesa el estado.

La decisión fue anunciada por World Aquatics tras una evaluación, de acuerdo al comunicado que emitieron, conjunta con Aquatics México, la Federación Mexicana de Clavados y Clavados de Altura y el Consejo Estatal para el Fomento Deportivo (Code) Jalisco.

El organismo rector de los deportes acuáticos explicó que las advertencias y limitaciones de viaje impidieron que varios países autorizaran la participación de sus selecciones nacionales. Ante este escenario, la prioridad fue garantizar la seguridad y la plena participación de los atletas, un principio que, señalaron, está por encima de cualquier otro interés deportivo.

La noticia cayó como un balde de agua fría para la organización mexicana, que había trabajado durante meses en la preparación del evento. Sin embargo, World Aquatics agradeció públicamente el esfuerzo y la colaboración de las autoridades locales, dejando abierta la puerta para que Zapopan pueda albergar esta competencia en una futura fecha.

En lo deportivo, la cancelación también tiene efectos directos. La clasificación a la superfinal de la Copa Mundial, programada del 1 al 3 de mayo en Beijing, se definirá únicamente con base en los resultados obtenidos en la etapa de Montreal. Esto modifica el panorama para los clavadistas que esperaban sumar puntos en territorio mexicano rumbo a la definición en China.

Desde la Comisión Nacional de Cultura Física y Deporte (Conade), su titular, Rommel Pacheco, aseguró que México no fue responsable de la determinación final y que continúan las negociaciones para mantener la competencia en el país.

A través de un mensaje en redes sociales, el dirigente afirmó que se trabaja intensamente para que Jalisco conserve la sede, aunque también se analizan alternativas en otras entidades, como Ciudad de México, Veracruz y Yucatán, con el objetivo de que los clavadistas mexicanos puedan competir en casa.

Por su parte, el gobernador de Jalisco, Pablo Lemus, sostuvo que la cancelación no debe interpretarse como definitiva, sino como un diferimiento. Explicó que se realizan gestiones junto con Conade, el Code y la Secretaría de Gobernación para intentar reprogramar el evento, ya sea en fechas cercanas o en otro mes del calendario.

Entre la incertidumbre y la negociación, la Copa Mundial de Clavados en México entra en pausa mientras autoridades deportivas y gubernamentales buscan una salida que permita que este evento vuelva a tener como escenario el trampolín jalisciense.
