**Trump Slams Biden Transition, Considers Renaming Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’**
In his second press conference since being elected president, Donald Trump continued to Promote his bold vision for the United States, while criticizing the transition process and announcing new investments in the country.
On Tuesday, Trump announced a $20 billion investment by Middle Eastern company Damac Properties to build new data centers across the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Sunbelt. However, he quickly turned his focus to criticizing President Joe Biden’s final actions before leaving office and expressing his desire to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal, without ruling out the use of military force to ensure what he called U.S. economic and national security.
**Trump Slams Biden Transition**
Trump took aim at Biden’s move to ban all future offshore oil and gas drilling on the east and west coasts of the United States, calling it a “big mistake.” He vowed to “revoke it immediately” and claimed that it was one of several actions taken by Biden to make the transition more difficult for him.
“We inherited a difficult situation from the outgoing administration, and they are doing everything they can to make it even more difficult,” Trump said, admitting that the transition process has been challenging.
**Trump Considers Renaming Gulf of Mexico to ‘Gulf of America’ and Seizing Panama Canal**
Trump also considered renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” and seizing the Panama Canal, saying that it would be a “beautiful name” and “fitting.” He stated that he had previously wanted to buy Greenland, but the island had refused, and he had also considered imposing “very high levels” of tariffs on Denmark to acquire it.
When asked if he would use military force or economic coercion to acquire Greenland, Trump did not rule it out, saying, “I can’t guarantee you either of those. But I can say this, we need them to keep our economy secure.” His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was in Greenland on a personal visit at the time, sparking speculation that the two were discussing the possible acquisition of the island.
**Trump’s Plans for the Panama Canal and Other Territories**
Trump also declared his intentions to acquire the Panama Canal, claiming that the U.S. has always been a “big supporter” of the project. He criticized former President Jimmy Carter’s oversight of the Panama Canal Treaty, which gave the country final control of the vital waterway, saying it was a “big mistake” that contributed to Carter’s failure to win re-election.
The President-elect also expressed his desire to acquire other territories, including the Middle Eastern country of Qatar, saying, “I’ll make a great deal for Qatar, believe me. It will be fantastic.”
