Trump's conference proposed a number of amazing strategies, and many countries responded

On January 8, at a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, US President-elect Donald Trump made a number of shocking statements in just one hour and escalated his rhetoric on sovereignty issues with Canada and other countries. He called for Canada to be admitted as part of the United States through economic means, and did not rule out the use of force to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland. He also demanded that NATO countries increase their defense spending to 5% of GDP. He also vowed that if Hamas did not release Israeli hostages before he took office, "the Middle East would be in chaos." In addition, Trump also promised to rename the Gulf of Mexico "the Gulf of America." Other than threatening to impose tariffs on countries that do not cooperate, including Denmark, he did not explain how these seemingly impossible promises would be achieved. In response, various parties responded to Trump's remarks. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that Canada could not be reduced to a state of the United States, and the foreign minister said that he would not back down in the face of threats. The Danish prime minister reiterated that Greenland is not for sale. Panama's president responded by saying that he would not comment on Trump's remarks about the Panama Canal before Trump took office. Foreign media commented that Trump's remarks coincided with a bolder gesture, that is, Trump believes that he has a mandate (by the people and the Electoral College) to speak and act almost at will.
