President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago following Congress’ certification of his re-election victory on Monday.
Trump spoke to a broad range of topics on Tuesday and introduced a few new issues he plans to tackle, including renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
“We do most of the work there and it’s ours,” Trump said. “We’re gonna be changing the name of the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ to the ‘Gulf of America,’ which has a beautiful ring…”
“That covers a lot of territory. The ‘Gulf of America.’ What a beautiful name. And it’s appropriate. It’s appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country.”
“And we’re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada because Canada…they come through Canada too and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers,” he added.
Trump’s proposal to rename the inlet that forms the coastline of five US states quickly gained support on social media.
“President Trump’s second term is off to a GREAT start,” wrote Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on X, adding, “I’ll be introducing legislation ASAP to officially change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to its rightful name, the Gulf of America!”
The soon-to-be 47th president discussed re-taking the Panama Canal.
“We gave it away for a dollar but the deal was that you know they have to treat us fairly. They don’t treat us fairly. They charge more for our ships than they charge for ships of other countries. They charge more for our navy than they charge for navies of other countries.”
“They laugh at us because they think we’re stupid but we’re not stupid anymore. So the Panama Canal is under discussion with them right now. They violated every aspect of the agreement and it’s they morally violated it also.”
When later asked by a reporter whether he could rule out using “military or economic coercion” in Panama or Greenland negotiations, Trump firmly responded, “No.”
Trump suggested hockey legend Wayne Gretzky should mount a bid for Canadian prime minister, following the disgraceful exit of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday.
Trump also vowed to fix the US election process by making sure votes everywhere are counted by 10pm on Election Night.
Trump went on to bash Biden’s green mandates.
“He wants all gas heaters out of your homes and apartments. He wants them to be replaced by essentially, electric heaters. I don’t know what it is with electric. This guy loves electric.”
“We’re going to be ending the electric car mandate, quickly, by the way,” he added.
Addressing the Israel-Gaza war, Trump threatened Hamas should consider releasing Israeli hostages by the time he returns to office because if they don’t “all hell will break out in the Middle East. And it will not be good for Hamas. And it will not be good frankly for anyone.”
