【Latest News: Trump Authorized the Minting of a Coin Honoring the U.S. Ice Hockey Team's Victory Over the Soviet Union】
On December 12, 2025, in the White House Oval Office, alongside members of the 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Ice Hockey Team, Trump signed the legislation authorizing the minting of the coin to commemorate the U.S. team's victory over the Soviet Union and winning the gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.
Ken Morrow, a player, said that the tradition of the audience shouting "USA!" began at that Olympics.
This prompted Trump to joke, "I tried to take credit for it." This slogan is a regular feature at his rallies.
Trump called the victory over the Soviet team, which occurred during the Cold War, one of the greatest upsets in sports history. After defeating the defending gold medalists, the U.S. team was able to compete for the gold and eventually won the championship by defeating Finland 4-2.
