Incoming president Donald Trump reiterated his desire to annex Canada and Greenland, floated renaming the Gulf of Mexico, and weighed in on current events.

The Details: At a Tuesday press conference at his Mar-a-Lago property, Trump said he would apply “economic force” instead of military force to make Canada part of the U.S., calling the border between the countries an “artificially drawn line.” He mentioned taking control of Greenland and the Panama Canal, criticizing the late former president Jimmy Carter for transferring control of the latter to Panama. Fielding other questions from reporters, Trump said he’d rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” commended Meta for planning to replace its fact-checkers with community notes, praised federal judge Aileen Cannon for blocking the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report from his investigation of Trump for mishandling classified documents, and touted a $20 billion investment in U.S. data centers by a Dubai-based billionaire.

How the Media Covered It: CNN (Lean Left bias) called Trump’s Canada plan an “imperialistic land grab” and a major departure from current U.S. foreign policy. Fox News (Right) highlighted the data center investment and “Gulf of America” in its coverage, while CNN led with the Canada, Panama and Greenland comments, praise for Cannon’s ruling, and criticism of Carter. The Hill (Center) highlighted the Canada and “Gulf of America” comments, noting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced a bill to rename the gulf shortly after the press conference.

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday intensified his push for American expansionism, refusing to rule out using military force to add Greenland to the United States and retake control of the Panama Canal.

In a wide-ranging news conference at Mar-a-Lago — his second since winning the 2024 election — he also said he could use “economic force” to turn Canada into the United States’ 51st state.

President-elect Trump said Tuesday he was not considering using military force to make Canada part of the United States after repeatedly musing about the idea of the country becoming the 51st state.

Instead, Trump said he intended to use “economic force” against the neighbor to the north.
