Trump press conference proposes numerous astonishing strategies, multiple countries respond

In a press conference held at Mar-a-Lago, ChainCatcher News reported that the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump made several shocking statements within just an hour, escalating his rhetoric on sovereignty issues with countries like Canada.

He called for the absorption of Canada into the United States through economic means and did not rule out using force to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland. He also demanded NATO countries increase their defense spending to 5% of GDP. He vowed that if Hamas does not release Israeli hostages before he takes office, "the Middle East will fall into chaos."

In addition, Trump promised to rename the Gulf of Mexico as "American Gulf." Apart from threatening tariffs against uncooperative countries (including Denmark), he did not explain how these seemingly impossible promises would be achieved.

In response to this, various parties responded separately to Trump's remarks. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said it was impossible for Canada to become a state of America; The country's foreign minister stated they would never back down in face of threats; Danish Prime Minister reiterated: Greenland is not for sale; Panamanian president responded by saying he wouldn't comment on Trump's stance about Panama Canal before his inauguration.

Foreign media commented that Trump's words are consistent with a more audacious posture - believing himself empowered (by people and electoral college) almost whimsically making statements and taking actions.
