00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04After Trump was officially recognized as the next US president by the US Congress on Monday,
00:10he once again showed off his commitment to expanding his territory.
00:16His wish list includes the United States of America's neighbouring Canada,
00:20the world's first island, Greenland, and Panama, which has significant strategic significance.
00:25What's even more shocking is that he won't rule out using military force or economic coercion
00:31to take control of these places.
00:33After Trump returned to the White House,
00:35will the focus of the policy really shift from US priority to US expansion?
00:40His recent statements have caused the American media to use imperialism to comment.
00:46In the second press conference after Trump won the election,
00:49he said that he won't rule out using military force to take control of Greenland and Panama.
00:56He also mentioned the importance of controlling the two places for the security of the United States.
01:01Trump also said that if Denmark insists on not selling Greenland,
01:05the United States will increase tariffs on Denmark.
01:09Trump, who is still in the press conference,
01:12criticized former President Carter, who has just passed away,
01:15for returning the cargo to Panama at a price of US$1,
01:20and said that this was a major mistake in Carter's term.
01:23Trump was also dissatisfied with Panama's cargo,
01:25the US Navy, and commercial vessels collecting high-profile passenger fees.
01:30He believed that the United States had been treated unfairly and unreasonably,
01:33and thought that Panama's abuse of this gift should not have been returned.
01:38It is only clear to Trump that this series of threats issued by Trump is a bluff,
01:42or that he will really take action.
02:09We need them for economic security.
02:11The United States will not rule out using military force to take control of the two places for the security of the United States.
02:18Trump said that the importance of controlling the two places for the security of the United States.
02:26He also said that if Denmark insists on not selling Greenland,
02:29the United States will increase tariffs on Denmark.
02:32People really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right.
02:35And if Denmark wants to get to a conclusion,
02:39but nobody knows if they even have any right title or interest,
02:42the people are going to probably vote for independence or to come into the United States.
02:46But if they did, if they did do that, then I would tariff Denmark at a very high level.
02:51At the same time, Trump's eldest son visited Greenland on Tuesday.
02:54This further deepened the US government's speculation that it would seek to acquire Greenland.
02:59But when Trump's eldest son was asked by reporters,
03:01he emphasized that he was only visiting as a tourist and would not meet any political figures.
03:07Could you tell why you're in Greenland?
03:09Here as tourists, seeing it looks like an incredible place.
03:12Do you have a message from your father?
03:14He says hello.
03:15Okay, to who?
03:16We were talking to him yesterday, so he says hello to everyone in Greenland.
03:20Although Trump's eldest son denies that this trip is related to his father's desire to take control of Greenland,
03:26but Danish Prime Minister Fredrik Eriksson said in an interview that
03:29he also does not believe that the US will use military or economic forces to ensure control of Greenland.
03:34He reiterated that Greenland is a non-trade product,
03:37and emphasized that although Denmark is close to the US,
03:40only the people of Greenland can determine the future of Greenland.
03:45In addition to the aforementioned Greenland and the Panama Canal,
03:48Trump also mentioned at a press conference that
03:50he intends to use economic forces to bring Canada,
03:53which has a population of 41 million and is the second largest country in the world,
03:57to the United States.
04:00Before this, Trump has repeatedly reiterated that
04:03Canada is the 51st state to be included in the United States,
04:06and it is also in the interest of both countries.
04:08However, Canada's former Prime Minister Trudeau, who has already announced his resignation,
04:11is reluctant to do so,
04:12indicating that Canada will never become a part of the United States.
04:15As for Mexico, which Trump complained about
04:17for taking advantage of the US on the issue of trade and immigration,
04:20was also named by Trump.
04:22Trump said with his usual confident tone that
04:24he would change the name of Mexico Bay to American Bay.
04:28In addition to emphasizing that the United States is doing most of the work there,
04:31Trump also praised the name American Bay, which is too beautiful.
04:34It means that the real owner of this land is very suitable for him.
