Trump demands NATO members increase defense spending, threatens force to seize Greenland, and makes unfounded claims about windmills and Biden's energy policies.
President-elect Donald Trump summoned the world’s press to Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday to unveil a new, $20bn (£16bn) foreign investment aimed at funding the construction of new data centres in the United States. He also made several controversial statements.
He demanded that Nato members devote 5 per cent of their GDP to the continent’s defence, insisted that “all hell will break loose in the Middle East” unless Hamas releases its remaining hostages before his inauguration on Monday, 20 January, refused to rule out the use of force to annex Greenland or seize control of the Panama Canal, and claimed windmills are killing whales. Trump also repeated his previous claims that America’s washing machines, dishwashers and showers are underperforming due to US government regulations and argued that neither President Joe Biden nor Vice President Kamala Harris should have been permitted to stand for election. He flayed Biden for restricting energy exploration across 625 million miles of the US coastal waters, arguing falsely that the President had essentially shut down access to “the whole ocean”. And he avoided evincing any daylight between himself and Elon Musk, arguing that the billionaire’s social media spat with Sir Keir Starmer and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage was “not so unusual”
