The gold-medal-winning U.S. men's Olympic hockey team visits President Donald Trump at the White House after their victory at the Milan Cortina Olympics. The team arrives at Joint Base Andrews, celebrating their 2-1 overtime win over Canada, marking their first gold medal in men's hockey since 1980. Forward Matthew Tkachuk shares photos on social media, showcasing the team's excitement.

Trump invites the team to the State of the Union address, joking about also inviting the women's team, who declined due to scheduling conflicts. The men travel to Miami before heading to Washington, D.C.

At the White House, players pose for photos at the South Portico and walk along the West Wing colonnade. Trump welcomes them in the Oval Office, acknowledging each player and shaking hands. The decor features gold accents that match their medals as the team celebrates their historic achievement.
