Canada's prime minister has hit out at Donald Trump's comments about annexing the country, saying "you can't take our country, and you can't take our game", in the wake of a major ice hockey win.

On Thursday, Canada beat the United States to win the 4 Nations hockey tournament, with the tense action on the ice mirroring the political tensions bubbling between the two countries.
