Before leaving, Ivanka had yesterday congratulated Team US for an incredible win, mentioning the women's’ hockey team in their exasperated last minute victory over Canada: “Congratulations to @TeamUSA #WomensHockey for an incredible win – the first GOLD in 20 years. This team shows us what we can achieve when we work together, never give up, never give in, and ALWAYS believe in ourselves and in each other. #USAvsCAN See you in #PyeongChang tomorrow!”
