Trump talks about the inclusion of Canada and the war with China, Judges, Musk and NATO news
On Friday, US President Donald Trump made statements that covered several axes, the most important of which are: his grumbling about the judges’ confrontation with his powers, his confidence in billionaire Elon Musk, his insistence on annexing Canada to the United States, preparing for war with China, the reality of NATO, and the Russian -Ukrainian conflict.
The US President said that he won the recent presidential elections, “based on promises of the deportation of criminals, and a judge cannot prevent this,” This refers to a previous decision made by a federal judge to prevent the implementation of a presidential order to expel groups of immigrants.
President Trump had expressed his annoyance earlier in the authorities of the federal judges, and some of them described the liberals who were trying to prevent him from implementing his presidential program, “No judge can take over the powers of the President of the United States,” Trump said.
Regarding the review of government spending, Trump renewed his confidence in billionaire Elon Musk, who is leading the Ministry of Government efficiency, and Trump said that Musk “is doing a great job in checking the administrative discipline of government employees.”
State No. 51
On another matter, Trump reaffirmed his intention to include Canada to be the US state No. 51, and said, “Canada must be an American state, and the borders with Canada are an artificial line”, but he nevertheless stressed that his country does not need Canada products “so its support costs us 200 billion dollars annually”, and continued, “Canada took advantage of our country for a long time, and imposed on us high customs duties.”
Allies and opponents
The US President has made clear that his country does not want to fight against Beijing but is ready for this scenario, saying, “We do not want to fight against China, but if we have to do so we are well prepared for it,” Trump said – in the context of talking about Beijing – that Elon Musk has not informed any secret information about China.
Trump dealt with relations with Western allies, saying: NATO is strong and crucified, but we should treat fairly, Trump insists on the need for NATO countries to raise their military budgets, and to pay more money in exchange for American protection.
He expressed his hope to reach a ceasefire agreement in Ukraine “because thousands are killing a week,” and renewed his assertion that the war would not have erupted in Ukraine if he found a president with a efficient in the White House, in a clear exposure to his democratic predecessor Joe Biden.
Trade and journalism
The commercial side also took an important space from the US President’s speech, where he said that the second of April “will be the day of the liberation of the United States and will return to us tens of billions in the form of customs duties”, and explained that many countries have requested obtaining exemptions from customs duties, saying that he will have some flexibility in this regard.
Trump did not forget the media, saying that “our country needs trusteeship journalists with credibility.”
On a separate matter, Trump has not been reminded that he revealed the documents related to the investigation of the assassination of former President John Kennedy. He pledged to allow the documents related to the killing of the militant Martin Luther King.
Türkiye and F -16
Meanwhile, the American Fox News network quoted sources that President Trump expressed his intention to complete the sale of F-16 fighters to Turkey, after talks with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Fox News quoted the sources whose identity did not reveal that the sale of F-35 fighters to Ankara is dependent on an agreement that makes the Russian S-400 air defense system inaccurate, and requires partially dismantling the equipment of this system or transferring it to an American base in Türkiye.
