Key lines from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago news conference
CNNCNN — President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday intensified his push for American expansionism, refusing to rule out using military force to add Greenland to the United States and retake control of the Panama Canal. In a wide-ranging news conference at Mar-a-Lago — his second since winning the 2024 election — he also said he could use “economic force” to turn Canada into the United States’ 51st state. “You get rid of that artificially drawn line and you take a look at what that looks like — and it would also be much better for national security,” Trump said at his Florida estate. “We’re going to try and have a policy where no windmills are being built,” Trump said. Says Meta has ‘come a long way’ Trump said he thought Meta had “come a long way” after CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday it would get rid of fact checkers on Facebook and Instagram and replace them with user-generated “community notes,” similar to Elon Musk’s X.
