Team USA declines Trump's Whitehouse Invitation

This just in, the gold medal winning American Women's Hockey team has reportedly declined President Donald Trump's White House invitation.

Trump formally invited the women to his State of the Union address on Tuesday, but the team has informed him today that they will be unable to attend.

A spokesperson for the team told NBC News' Monica Alba that the team, which won the gold medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, was "sincerely grateful" for the recognition, but the players are unable to attend "due to the timing and previously scheduled academic and professional commitments."

Trump, of course, also extended the same invitation to the U.S. men's team but it remains unclear if the players will be able to attend the invite. Stay tuned.
