President-elect Donald Trump announced plans for 'very serious tariffs' against Canada and Mexico, citing illegal immigration and drug trafficking. He also declared his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America'.
President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he plans to order “very serious tariffs” against Canada and Mexico — and that he will rechristen the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.
“I have so many great friends. One of them is the great one, Wayne Gretzky. I said, ‘Run for prime minister. You’ll win. It’ll take two seconds.’ But he said, ‘Well, am I going to run for prime minister or governor?'”Trump has for weeks jokingly suggested that Canada become the 51st state, while more seriously pressing for the US to acquire Greenland from Denmark and suggesting the US may need to reassert control of the Panama Canal, topics he also revisited in his remarks.
The president-elect spoke as his son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland as part of his attempt to woo the island’s 56,000 residents to break with Denmark and join the United States. “That’s for the free world. I’m talking about protecting the free world. You look at you don’t even need binoculars. You look outside. You have China ships all over the place. You have Russian ships all over the place. We’re not letting that happen… The people are going to probably vote for independence or to come into the United States.
