President Trump gushed over the Village People to the leaders of Canada and Mexico on Friday after breaking out his signature \u201cYMCA\u201d dance at FIFA\u2019s World Cup 2026 draw <\/a>in Washington. 
Jeremy Freeman, an expert witness forensic lip reader based in the United Kingdom, told The Post he observed Trump mouthing the letters of the disco group\u2019s iconic song<\/a> and even trying to convince first lady Melania Trump to sing or dance along. 
\u201cI love this,\u201d Trump said to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as they watched the performance with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and the first lady, according to Freeman. 
After breaking out his \u201cYMCA\u201d shimmy, Trump explained to Carney and Sheinbaum what he loves about the Village People \u2013 who performed at the president\u2019s inauguration festivities<\/a> earlier this year. 
\u201cCome on, they make me happy,\u201d Trump told the world leaders, according to the expert lip-reader.
\u201cCome on, join in,\u201d the commander-in-chief said to Melania at another point. 
Victor Willis, the group\u2019s lead singer who dresses in a traffic cop outfit on stage, said in an interview with \u201cFox & Friends\u201d<\/a> last year that he backed off his opposition to Trump playing \u201cYMCA\u201d at rallies and events because the president “seems to genuinely like the song.”
\u201c[Trump] seemed to be bringing so much joy to the American people with this use of ‘YMCA,’” Willis added. 
The US, Canada and Mexico are co-hosting the 2026 World Cup. 
Trump indicated that he is getting on well with the two world leaders ahead of the global soccer tournament despite the trade tensions since he took office. 
\u201cWe’re getting along,\u201d Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center, ahead of the event. 
\u201cI think we have a meeting set up for some time after the event,\u201d he added. 
The trio met privately, with no staff in the room, for about 50 minutes after the draw, according to the CBC<\/a>. 
Trump has slapped a 35% tariff on Canadian imports<\/a> and a 25% duty on Mexican goods<\/a>, along with separate levies for steel, aluminum, automobiles, lumber and copper. 
Friday\u2019s meeting marked the first in-person discussions between Trump and Sheinbaum, and the first private talks between Trump and Carney since the president cut-off trade negotiations<\/a> with Canada in October. <\/p>\n
