Donald Trump hasn’t even retaken the office of the presidency yet, and he’s already drastically reshaping American foreign policy.

At a Tuesday press conference, which covered a wide range of topics, President-elect Trump announced that his administration would be renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”

The once and future president also doubled down on his aims to acquire Greenland, retake control of the Panama Canal, and put pressure on Canada to change its trade relations with the United States.

One reporter asked Trump whether he would rule out using “military force” to take Greenland and Panama.

“I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump said. “It might be that you’ll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.”

Trump added that the United States needs Greenland for “national security purposes.”

When he was later asked whether he would use military force to make Canada a part of the United States, Trump said he wouldn’t, but instead would employ economic pressure.
