1 Trump Reaffirms He's Serious About Getting Panama Canal, Greenland, And Canada
During a wide-ranging press conference at Mar-a-Lago yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump seemingly talked about almost everything on his mind. When asked by a reporter if he would rule out using military force or economic coercion in his attempt to take over Greenland and the Panama Canal, Trump responded “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two.” When asked about Canada and his recent comments about making the country the “51st state,” Trump said he wouldn’t use military force in that situation, only economic measures. On the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza, Trump said there “better be” a deal before he’s sworn in. “All hell will break out. If those hostages aren’t back…if they’re not back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East.” President-elect Trump discussed changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.” Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene submitted legislation in the House yesterday afternoon immediately after Trump mentioned the idea to officially change the name to “Gulf of America.”
