In a social media post, Trump said the higher rate takes effect immediately and signaled he may use other trade powers to add more import taxes.

Both teams are stacked with NHL talent with the pros participating for the first time in more than a decade. Canada boasts the three time MVP Connor McDavid, the NHL leading goal scorer Nathan McKinnon and the 19 year old phenom Macklin Celebrini, all in their top line. The U.S. roster includes five NHL team captains, including the Toronto Maple Leafs, Austin Matthews and the league's best goaltender, Connor Hellebuk. Last year in the NHL, four nations face off. The Americans took the first game 3 to 1, but the Canadiens won the final 3, 2 on an overtime goal by McDavid. That's left the Americans hungry for revenge. Canada has won nine Olympic men's hockey gold medals all time. The U.S. only has two, the last, of course, in 1980 with the Miracle on Ice. Becky Sullivan, NPR News, Milan.
