Donald Trump has taken aim at China and told death row prisoners whose sentences were reduced by President Joe Biden to "Go to HELL" in a lengthy Christmas message, in which he also doubled down on his desire to claim both the Panama Canal and Greenland for the United States.
In a message on Truth Social, the President-elect also slammed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau amid ongoing tensions in the nation’s government.
Mr Trudeau’s job is currently on the line after the surprise resignation of Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who clashed with her boss over Mr Trump’s threats to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports.
Mr Trump is making the most of the unrest – calling Mr Trudeau the “governor” of Canada and declaring that making the United States’s northern neighbour the 51st US state would be a “great idea”.
This past week, Mr Trump has also been ruffling feathers across the globe - declaring he would “take control” of the Panama Canal and Greenland to strengthen America’s foothold in key strategic areas.
On Tuesday, Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute Egede was quick to shutdown Mr Trump’s interest - renewed from his first term as president, when he floated the idea of the US buying Greenland.
“Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom,” Mr Egede said in a statement.
“Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago),” Mr Trump said in his Christmas post.
“Also, to Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose Citizens’ Taxes are far too high, but if Canada was to become our 51st State, their Taxes would be cut by more than 60 per cent, their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other Country anywhere in the World.
