SEE IT: Fresh Off Olympic Gold, USA Hockey Brings Red-White-And-Blue Swagger To Club In Miami

Not even 48 hours after they clinched their first gold medal in 46 years, the men of the U.S. Olympic hockey team landed on American soil — and proceeded with gusto to paint the Miami club scene red, white, and blue.

Videos quickly circulated on X of the team descending on the popular Miami hotspot E11even, where they led the crowd in a loud, raucous rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

The boisterous — and clearly infectious — patriotism didn’t stop there, as members of the team then went on to lead the crowd in singing Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.”

The team led the singing themselves, pouring drinks for fans as they sang along. And when the song came to the iconic line — “I will gladly stand up next to you, and defend her still today” — every single member of Team USA stopped and stood tall.

The late country star Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” also got a nod during the celebration.

The team is also set to join the crowd on Tuesday evening for President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address. Trump issued the invitation during a post-game call to the locker room just after Team USA clinched the gold in a nail-biter of a game. He was barely able to get the words out before members of the team interrupted to tell him, “We’re in!”

Team member Quinn Hughes — alongside his brother and teammate Jack Hughes — told ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday that everyone was looking forward to attending the president’s address.

“I don’t know how much we’re allowed to say, but yes. Yeah, we’re excited to go. Something you don’t get to do — I don’t know what today is — every Tuesday. But yeah — but, it’s going to be special for us, but I’m glad you mentioned the women’s team again. You know, we’re really happy for them. Obviously, a lot going on on social media surrounding our team and their team. But, you know, the last couple we’ve done a lot of training with them and got to know a lot of those girls really well. We’re extremely happy to come,” he said.

Jack Hughes, upon landing in Miami on Monday, spoke to a reporter about losing teeth in the gold-medal game and still going on to score the game-winning goal.

“It sounds like definitely crazy for you guys because just different profession, but in hockey, like, if you lose your teeth, it’s not even a question of, like, coming back and playing,” Hughes said. “That’s like an automatic.”

“The Gold Medal is for all the guys that have come before us, and all the young kids that are going to come after us,” he added. “We want to leave USA Hockey in a better place than when we first got there.”

Trump’s Global Tariffs Kick In At Lower Rate Than Expected

The across-the-board global tariff imposed by President Donald Trump took effect on Tuesday at 10%, lower than the 15% rate the president said would be implemented. 

A bulletin issued Tuesday by Customs and Border Protection announced an “additional 10% ad valorem duty on imported articles of every country for a period of 150 days, unless specifically exempt.” The notice comes just days after Trump said that he would raise the global tariff rate to 15% “effective immediately.” 

“Based on a thorough, detailed, and complete review of the ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American decision on Tariffs issued yesterday, after MANY months of contemplation, by the United States Supreme Court, please let this statement serve to represent that I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been ‘ripping’ the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. 

A White House official told NBC News that the rate would start at 10% while officials prepare a separate executive order to increase it to 15%. The Daily Wire has reached out to the White House for clarification on the tariff rates. 

The Customs and Border Protection bulletin cited an executive order Trump signed Friday after the Supreme Court struck down his “Liberation Day” tariffs, which had been imposed under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA).

“I find that a surcharge in the form of ad valorem duties on certain imports is required to deal with the United States’ large and serious balance-of-payments deficit,” Trump wrote. “Accordingly, I impose, for a period of 150 days, a temporary import surcharge of 10 percent ad valorem, as described below, on articles imported into the United States, effective February 24, 2026.”

Products exempt from the tariffs include certain critical minerals, metals used in currency, energy and energy products, certain agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, certain electronics, and some passenger vehicles. 

These tariffs were imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which authorizes the president to address “certain fundamental international payment problems through surcharges and other special import restrictions.”

The Supreme Court ruling has led to uncertainty surrounding Trump’s broader economic agenda. On Monday, the European Union moved to pause adoption of a trade deal with the United States that had been negotiated under Trump’s IEEPA tariffs.
