When asked by a reporter whether Trump would assure the world that he would not use military or economic coercion to gain control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, he said: "No, I can't assure you on either of those two." Trump's comments highlight a willingness to assertively pursue U.S. interests abroad, especially regarding territories seen as vital for economic security.
Trump also said that "we're going to be changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring." This statement demonstrates his tendency to make bold declarations, reflecting a desire to reshape national identity.
Trump stated that "all hell will break out in the Middle East" if the hostages held by Hamas are not released by the time he takes office, signaling his aggressive stance on foreign policy and threat assessment.
Discussing Jan. 6 defendants, Trump said, "we'll be looking at the whole thing, but I'll be making major pardons." This indicates his ongoing commitment to providing leniency for those involved in the Capitol riot.
