In his speech, Trump vowed to lead a government that "expands our territory," referencing his ambitions to acquire Greenland from Denmark and reclaim U.S. control of the Panama Canal. However, the path to achieving these goals remains uncertain, as he is likely to face resistance both domestically and internationally.

President Trump's Inauguration Day speeches were punctuated by several false or misleading claims, many of which he has made before.

Echoing false and misleading claims he has previously made, Trump misleadingly suggested that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had taken little or no action following Hurricane Helene’s devastation.

President Donald Trump's second inaugural address featured similar themes to his first as he declared the beginning of a 'golden age' in America.

Donald Trump, who overcame impeachments, criminal indictments and a pair of assassination attempts to win another term in the White House, was sworn in Monday as the 47th U.S. president, taking charge as Republicans claim unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country’s institutions.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump began erasing Joe Biden ’s legacy immediately after taking office as the nation’s 47th president on Monday, pardoning nearly all of his supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and issuing a blizzard of executive orders that signal his desire to remake American institutions.

President Trump said of the Panama Canal, “We’re taking it back.” The letter from Panama cited articles of the U.N. charter that prohibit member states from using threats and force.

President Trump again threatened to take control of the Panama Canal, saying in his inaugural address, “We’re taking it back.” Trump has previously threatened to take over of the Panama Canal and take control of Greenland from Denmark.

In recent weeks, when he was President-elect Donald Trump publicly said that Panama should return the Panama Canal to the United States, and he would not rule out using military force to reclaim it. At his presidential Inauguration on Monday Trump doubled down on saying that his new administration was going to take back the canal.
