Freewheeling Trump sets out territorial ambitions

^{Published on 2025-01-07 14:01:47 - MSN}

Donald Trump threatened military action to secure the Panama Canal and economic force against neighboring Canada, in a meandering press conference Tuesday a day after Congress certified his election victory.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent comments and actions that suggest his territorial ambitions and his approach to governance if he were to return to office. Trump has been vocal about his plans to expand presidential powers, aiming to control independent agencies, and has expressed intentions to use the Justice Department to target his political adversaries. He has also hinted at using military forces for domestic law enforcement, a move that would blur the lines between military and civilian roles. Additionally, Trump has made controversial statements about NATO, suggesting he might not defend member countries that do not meet their financial obligations, thereby questioning the alliance's collective defense principle. His rhetoric includes promises to "root out" what he describes as "vermin" within the country, using language that echoes authoritarian regimes. These statements and plans have raised concerns about the potential erosion of democratic norms and the rule of law, painting a picture of a leader with expansive and potentially unchecked power ambitions.
