“Redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere.”
Donald Trump held a press conference for about an hour Tuesday at his mar-a-lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla. . It was the first time Donald Trump had been questioned by the media after the US Congress counted the electoral votes and confirmed him as president on Saturday. The New York Times commented that the press conference was “A hodgepodge of grievances, name calling and false statements”.
“Donald Trump wants to redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere,” CNN CNN, in which Donald Trump described what he called the “Dawn of an American Golden Age” at a news conference, it includes: the United States“Economic security needs” and“Protection of the free world,” Denmark should give up sovereignty over Greenland, or face high tariffs; The United States should“Take back” control of the Panama Canal from Panama. According to the New York Times, Donald Trump also wrongly accused “The Chinese of operating the canal”, a charge denied by both Panamanians and Chinese. Asked if he could rule out “Military or economic coercion” to seize sovereignty over the two territories, Donald Trump replied: “No, I can’t guarantee that.”
Panamanian Foreign Minister Martinez Acha reiterated on the 7th that the sovereignty of the Panama Canal is part of the history of Panamanian struggle, “The only thing that controls the canal is the Panamanian hand, and that will never change,” Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen said in an interview with Danish Media Friday, she does not believe the United States will use military or economic power to secure control of Greenland. Previously, the Prime Minister of the Greenland self-government said that it would“Never sell the island”, and the Danish king even directly ordered the revision of the national emblem. The new national emblem focuses on the polar bear symbol, which represents Greenland, it seems to be making a high-profile claim on the US side.
According to the Italian newspaper Noticias, Donald Trump did not rule out the use of force to seize Greenland, “Which means that the new president of the United States may order an invasion of the territory of NATO allies.”. Greenland is “European territory” and “There is no doubt that the European Union will not allow any country in the world, whoever they are… to attack the sovereign borders of Europe,” French Foreign Minister Barrow said Thursday, AFP reported “We have entered an era of the return of the law of power,” he said. “In a world where the law of power prevails, we need to wake up militarily and in competition to strengthen ourselves.” Germany’s principle, as always, is that borders can not be changed by force. A spokesman for the European Commission said on the same day that Donald Trump’s claim to Greenland was a “Crazy assumption” that member states would defend the territory together if it came under attack.
Also targeted by Donald Trump are Canadians. “The New York Times” said Donald Trump repeatedly ridiculed the Canadian is the United States “51st State,” he made clear on the 7th, he was not kidding. Donald Trump said the US had spent zero per cent “Subsidising” Canada and that the border the two countries established more than 230 years ago was an “Artificial line” and “They should be one country”. Asked if he would use military force in this regard, Donald Trump said, “No, economic power.”
In addition, Donald Trump 7 at a press conference also proposed to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to “The Gulf of America,” saying, “The name sounds beautiful.”. Commenting on the New York Magazine website, Donald Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico was absurd because before the founding of the United States, the waters were marked on a 16th-century map as the Gulf of Mexico. The Atlantic’s web site argues that there is domestic political logic behind Donald Trump’s threats, since it is easier to change the name of the Gulf than to build a border wall. NBC News says the federal government does have the power to change the name of a geographic location. At least one Donald Trump supporter said he would introduce a bill in Congress to rename the Gulf. “However, persuading other countries in the region, particularly Mexico, to adopt the new name could be a major challenge.”
“What if we bought Alaska?”
“Donald Trump’s comments angered our three allies — Panama, Denmark and Canada,” Trudo said on social media, according to the New York Times, canada has no chance of becoming part of the United States, and workers and communities in both countries benefit from“Being each other’s largest trading and security partner.”. Melanne Jolly, a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, wrote on social media that Donald Trump’s comments showed “That he has no idea what makes Canada a strong country”, canada“Will never back down from a threat”. “What if we bought Alaska and Minnesota,” Fote, the country’s most populous Premier of Ontario, said in an interview Tuesday, before telling CNN, he is joking.
In stark contrast to Donald Trump, outgoing US President Biden spoke to Trudeau on Saturday night to express his gratitude to Trudo, the Guardian said. “Over the past decade, Prime Minister Trudo has led with commitment, optimism and strategic vision,” Biden said. The Union of the United States and Canada is stronger because of him. The American and Canadian people are safer because of him.”
That’s not all. A few hours after the press conference, Donald Trump posted two maps of “Canada merged with America” on social media. Canada’s ruling federal Liberal Party later posted a map of the us-canada border on social media platform X with the caption“For those who might get confused”. “Canada will never be the 51st state, period,” said polyev, the federal Leader of the Conservative Party of the country’s largest opposition party

“America first” becomes“America only”?
Donald Trump, are you serious? The media discussed it. The Italian newspaper Noticias warned that Donald Trump’s words should not be taken as hyperbole, even though they ran counter to common sense and international norms. “They have to be taken seriously because Trump has the faith, the will and the means to execute them.”
“American imperialism is back,” Andreas Brehme, president of Eurasia Group, an American think-tank, told Social Platform X. Donald Trump’s “Imperialist tendencies” in the run-up to his second The Hill have raised long-standing questions about whether he should be taken seriously, the US newspaper The Hill said yesterday? Donald Trump has used tough language as a negotiating tool, not to mention the threat of force. Greenland is self-ruled by Denmark, which is a member of NATO, and an American attack on a NATO member would create chaos among its allies. Making Canada the 51st state in the United States is also a tall order. Reported that Donald Trump has been talking about “Annexation” of Canada, presumably in order to force the Canadian trade negotiations. The report said Donald Trump’s comments were particularly appealing to his supporters, who support Donald Trump’s expansionist agenda and are happier the more liberals react to them.
“Donald Trump is serious about these plans. It’s not just a mind game. Donald Trump has clear intentions,” the German Daily Westernzeitung quoted Thomas Yeager, a political science professor at the University of Cologne, as saying. Donald Trump is “Reaching out” to Greenland and Canada, just as he did in his previous New York property deals. If Donald Trump succeeds, the scholar argues, he will join the “Great expansion of American territory” and “Become a truly great president”. With Canada and Greenland, the United States will“Become the largest country in the world — much larger than Russia is today.”.
Donald Trump’s “America first” diplomatic Kyunghyang Shinmun is becoming more expansionist, a South Korean newspaper said Thursday. Even showing an intention to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries in order to maximize the security and economic interests of the United States. The allies are becoming increasingly uneasy about Donald Trump’s second term, which begins on the 20th, according to the South Korean news website News1. Donald Trump’s increasingly brazen comments suggest that the “America first” policy he championed in his first term will evolve into a de facto “America only” policy in his second. That means he may ignore alliances altogether and pursue America’s own interests.
