Retired NHL great Wayne Gretzky downplayed his influence on Donald Trump in his first public comments since the U.S. president began his second term and began making references to making Canada the 51st state.
On a radio show Monday hosted by Ben Mulroney, son of former consecutive Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, Gretzky never used Trump’s name and was never asked about Trump's tariffs and trade war or the 51st state comments. Mulroney instead asked Gretzky if it registered with him that others attempt to use his name to further their agendas.
