Trump's provocative, often confusing, US foreign policy is back
New Indian ExpressPALM BEACH: In a provocative and headline-grabbing Tuesday speech on his territorial ambitions for the United States, incoming US leader Donald Trump was heavy on intimidation but light on details -- leaving many wondering how seriously the comments should be taken. He called the border with the United States' northern neighbor an "artificially drawn line," and promised to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America." The free-wheeling press conference brought to mind the Republican's many bombastic and provocative statements from his first term, when he said he would encourage Russia to "do whatever the hell they want" to NATO allies and called North Korea's leader a "rocketman on a suicide mission." "The charter is very clear in the need for every member state to respect the territorial integrity of other states," Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told reporters.
