Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has issued his own "mic drop" challenge to the United States and United Kingdom to "bring it" to the Invictus Games in Orlando, Florida.

Trudeau issued the provocation on Twitter in response to one issued last week by U-S President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in a tweet to Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth.

The prime minister showed off his own physical abilities in posting the short video, doing two-handed pushups while flanked by members of the Canadian team heading to Florida.

The Invictus Games were initiated by Prince Harry in 2014 as a Paralympics-style international sporting event for soldiers injured on active military duty and veteran service members.

This year’s event is being held at Walt Disney World from May 8th to the 12th.

Prince Harry received a rock star welcome in Toronto today, where he helped initiate the countdown to the 2017 Games, which will be held in the city next year.
