President Trump pissed off Canadians with his announcement today of new tariffs against the U.S.’s partner to the north — and the tension between the two countries has already bled into the NHL.

The Ottawa Senators played the Minnesota Wild at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ontario on Saturday night — but the political drama took place even before the referee dropped the puck.

It all went down during the singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Check out the video … Ottawa songstress Mandia was belting out the American National Anthem in front of about 20,000 fans — largely Canadians — many of whom started to boo. But you gotta hand it to Mandia who powered through all the way to the end.

The angry crowd reaction was clearly in response to Trump imposing 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, which will go into effect Tuesday, triggering a possible trade war between the countries. Trump also slapped a 10 percent tariff on all Chinese imported goods.

What’s more, 47 promised not to remove the tariffs on the 3 countries until they help curb the massive influx of fentanyl and undocumented immigrants from their territories into the U.S. Canada and Mexico quickly retaliated by placing their own tariffs on American products.

Looks like it’s shaping up to be a long 4 years under Trump. By the way, Ottawa destroyed Minnesota 6-0.

Kanye West has Taylor Swift on his mind heading into music’s biggest night … which could be an ominous sign for Sunday night’s Grammys, or it’s just a masterful troll.

As of Saturday night, Ye’s Instagram account had unfollowed everyone — including his wife Bianca Censori — with the exception of Taylor. Of course, if you’re Taylor, that move coming on the eve of the Grammys could make you pretty uneasy … considering Tay and Ye’s infamous history at award shows.

For what it’s worth, Taylor and Beyoncé will both be at Crypto.com arena Sunday night — Taylor has 6 nominations and Bey’s up for 11 — so, Ye could be the wild card once again.

It’s unclear if he’ll be in the building, but he is nominated for Best Rap Song.

Over on his X account, Ye went off overnight about a lot of people and subjects — dropping posts about Kamala Harris, President Trump, Elon Musk, The Weeknd‘s new album, Democrats and MAGA hats.

Grammy night could be wilder than we thought. Buckle up!

A United Airlines plane taking off from Houston and heading to New York was evacuated after experiencing an engine issue and catching fire.

The Federal Aviation Administration tells TMZ … the crew of the Airbus A319 safely aborted takeoff from George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport due to a reported engine issue around 8:35 AM on Sunday.

The 104 passengers and 5 crew members deplaned on the runway through a combination of slides and stairs and were bused to the terminal.

United Airlines tells TMZ … “During takeoff, United flight 1382 received an indication about one engine and halted the takeoff while still on the runway.” They went on to say there were no reported injuries.

FOX 26 in Houston obtained video in which you see the wing of the plane on fire. You can hear a flight attendant ask for the passengers to remain seated. One passenger is overheard saying, “No, it’s on fire!”

Sunday’s scare comes just days after 6 people were killed in a plane crash in Philadelphia. The crash in Philly came 2 days after an American Eagle regional jet and an Army helicopter collided in Washington D.C., leaving 67 people dead.

The FAA says they are now investigating the incident.
