" It will not be good for Hamas and it will not be good, frankly, for anyone, if the hostages are not released. All hell will break loose ."
US President-elect Donald Trump said this in response to a question about the hostage situation in Gaza during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Trump's goal is to have an agreement on the hostages by January 20, the day he takes office .
Among Trump's major goals are also the reconquest of the Panama Canal and the annexation of Greenland . He spoke clearly about it during the conference, and did not even rule out the use of force. " We need Panama and Greenland for our economic security ," he said immediately after announcing that he would change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
"If the people of Greenland voted for independence or to join the United States, I would impose very high tariffs on Denmark if they did not accept the result," said the American president, who then did not rule out the use of military force to recapture the Panama Canal and annex Greenland.
Responding to a question from a reporter asking whether he would rule out the use of "military force" or "economic coercion," the president-elect replied: " I cannot rule out either. I can say this, that we need the Panama Canal and Greenland for our economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military, I may have to do something ."
And Trump's ambitions do not end there, as he said he intended to use "economic force" against Canada, hoping that the country would become "the 51st US state" .
Trump also returned to an old mantra of his, reiterating what he had repeatedly urged during his first term as president, namely that NATO allies "must spend 5% of GDP on military spending."
