President Trump commented on some of the top priority in foreign policy, including the desire for purchasing Greenland and the possibility of Canada’s US state nation.
The President commented on Saturday night in an Air Force One in air for Miami, about 20 minutes and answers with reporters.
President Trump, “I think it can be realized” for Greenland
President Trump dated in 2019 that the United States would buy Greenland, a giant island in the Arctic, a self -government territory of Danish.
Denmark’s Prime Minister Methte Frederixen replied at the time that Greenland was “not for sale,” but Trump still expressed his willingness to make Greenland a part of the United States.
“I think Greenland can be solved with us. I think Greenland can be realized, and I think the people want to be with us.”
Greenland contains important natural resources such as rare earth minerals and uranium. President Trump said that the United States could provide safety inside and outside the island.
“I don’t really know what Denmark is doing, but if you didn’t allow it to protect the free world, that would be a very non -friendly act. It is not for us, for the free world, “said Trump.
The Financial Times reported on Friday that President Trump had once again expressed his interest in the acquisition of Greenland in a telephone talk with Frederixen earlier this month.
President Trump “Canada benefits from becoming a state of the United States.”
President Trump has repeatedly suggested that a neighboring country in the north of the United States “is treating us very unfairly in trade,” and has repeatedly suggested the possibility of imposing tariffs on Canada.
“I love Canada. I have a lot of friends in Canada, and they like us, but they like me, but Canada has been in the United States for years. We don’t intend to forgive it, “he added. 。
President Trump suggested that Canada is more dependent on the United States Trading, and that if there is no United States as a trading partner, Canada will be in trouble.
“Therefore, I don’t want to use hundreds of billions of dollars to support the country unless the country is a nation,” said the President. “And if it’s a state, the Canadian people will pay much lower taxes. Their taxes will be reduced by half. They do not have military problems. It will be safe and I think it’s important for Canada. “
Canadian Prime Minister Canada said earlier this month that Canada would be the 51st state in the United States.
Prime Minister Torudeau, who announced earlier this year, warned that US consumers would increase prices if tariffs were imposed on Canada. President Trump said on Saturday that the US tariffs against Canada will come into effect on February 1.
President Trump requests Jordan and Egypt to expand Palestinian refugees
President Trump said that as the war between Israel and Hamas continued, Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations would want to temporarily or long -term refugees from Gaza. The ceasefire, which started last week, is still valid.
President Trump praised that King Jordan’s Abdora, who met on the weekend, accepted and accommodated refugees from conflicts.
President Trump has requested the king to accept more refugees and said in a telephone talks scheduled for Sunday to make a similar request to Egyptian President Abdul Fataha Al Sishish.
“You’re probably talking about 1.5 million people, and we only wipe out the whole thing, and for centuries, there were many conflicts in this place, and and I don’t know, but something must happen. “
“Now it’s literally dismantled, almost everything is destroyed, and people have died there, so I would be involved with the Arab countries, and I would like to live peacefully for changes. I want to build it, “it may be temporary and long -term.
Trump also stated that the United States has released a 2,000 -pound bomb purchased by Israel, which had long been blocked by the Biden administration to Israel.
