The U.S. women's Olympic hockey team, fresh off their gold medal victory at the Milan-Cortina Games, has declined an invitation to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. While the official reason cited is scheduling conflicts and prior commitments, many suspect the team's decision is a deliberate move to distance themselves from the President following remarks he made about them. Trump had humorously suggested he might be impeached if the women's team wasn't invited, a comment that drew criticism on social media. Despite receiving an official invitation, the team stated their gratitude but confirmed their inability to attend due to existing academic and professional obligations.
