President-elect Donald Trump railed against President Joe Biden on Tuesday and mused about renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” ​​among a barrage of topics in a casual news conference at Mar-a-Lago less than two weeks before he takes office takes office.

Trump began his remarks by announcing a $20 billion investment by DAMAC Properties, a Middle East-based company, to build new data centers across the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Sun Belt.

However, he quickly shifted his focus to criticizing President Biden’s final actions before leaving office and laid out his desire to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal, while not ruling out the use of the military to ensure what he called economic and national security of the USA.

Here are the key takeaways from Trump’s press conference, his second since becoming president.

Trump criticizes Biden over his transition

Trump took aim at Biden’s move to ban all offshore oil and natural gas drilling off the east and west coasts of America.

The action is one of several Biden measures to forestall Trump’s goals for a second term.

“We are inheriting a difficult situation from the outgoing administration, and they are trying everything they can to make it more difficult,” Trump said, claiming they would not provide a “smooth transition.”

Regarding Biden’s oil drilling ban, Trump vowed: “I will reverse it immediately. It will happen immediately. And we will do baby drills,” but that could prove very difficult since the Biden ban is considered permanent by law and Congress would have to change it.

Trump ponders creating the “Gulf of America” and conquering the Panama Canal

When discussing his desire for U.S. control over Greenland and the Panama Canal, Trump considered changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

“What a beautiful name. And it’s fitting. It’s appropriate,” he said.

Trump said he wanted to buy Greenland in his first term, which the island territory flatly rejected at the time. When Trump pressed again after his election victory, Greenland’s prime minister noted that it was not for sale.

Notably, when asked by a reporter whether he would commit not to use military force or economic coercion in his attempt to acquire the territories, Trump did not rule it out.

“No, I can’t assure you of any of that. But I can say this: We need them for economic security,” Trump said.

Trump also raised the possibility of imposing “very high tariffs” on Denmark to acquire Greenland, claiming Denmark may not have a “legal right” to Greenland. As Trump spoke, his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was in Greenland on what he claimed was a personal visit.

Trump also minced no words in criticizing former President Jimmy Carter, who died last week at the age of 100, for overseeing the Panama Canal Treaty that ultimately gave the Central American country control of the crucial waterway.

Trump called Carter a “good man” but said he believed the cession of the Panama Canal was the reason Carter did not win a second term. The comments came as Carter’s remains were being transported from Georgia to Washington ahead of his state funeral.

“That was a big mistake,” Trump said of Carter’s decision on Panama.

“All hell will break loose” if Hamas does not release hostages by the inauguration

Trump was joined at Mar-a-Lago by Steven Witkoff, whom he has named his special envoy to the Middle East. The two were asked about ongoing efforts to reach an agreement to release Israeli and other hostages still being held by Hamas.

“All hell will break loose. If these hostages aren’t back… If they aren’t back by the time I take office, all hell will break loose in the Middle East,” Trump said.

When asked to elaborate, Trump said only: “And it won’t be good for Hamas. And it’s honestly not going to be good for anyone.”

Witkoff noted in his brief remarks that “really great progress” had been made in the hostage negotiations.

Talks on a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel are “underway,” Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid al-Ansari said on Tuesday.

A pardon for violent January 6 rioters is not out of the question

When asked by ABC News senior White House correspondent Selina Wang, Trump declined to commit to not pardoning the Jan. 6 defendants accused of violent crimes, including those who attacked police officers.

“Well, you know, the only one that was killed was a beautiful young lady named Ashley Babbitt,” Trump said, again trying to downplay the violence that erupted when thousands of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

According to the Justice Department, about 140 police officers were injured in the riot.

He also again falsely claimed that no one in the crowd was carrying firearms.

Praise the end of Facebook and Instagram fact checkers

Trump was asked about his reaction to Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, when he announced the company would replace its fact-checking program with “community notes.” The move was announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday.

“I watched their press conference and thought it was a very good press conference. I think they’ve come a long way, honestly, meta, Facebook. I think they’ve come a long way. I saw it.” “The man was very impressive,” Trump said.

Asked whether he believes Zuckerberg was responding to “threats” Trump had made to him in the past, Trump replied: “Probably.”

Meta introduced the fact-checking program after Trump’s 2016 election victory. Trump was banned from Facebook and Instagram following the Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol over concerns his posts could incite violence.
