WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – US President Donald Trump has addressed several issues of foreign and domestic policy answering the questions of journalists in the South Lawn of the White House, just before climbing on the direct helicopter in Florida for the weekend. Asked about the hypothesis of a US exit from NATO if the Alliance did not contribute to the acquisition of Greenland, Trump reiterated the strategic centrality of the island for American national security. “We have a desperate need for Greenland – he said –. Without it we would have a flaw in national security, even in relation to what we are doing with the Golden Dome and other projects. We are talking to NATO.”.
On the Iran dossier, the President claimed an autonomous decision not to proceed with immediate military action. “No one has convinced me, I am convinced myself,” said, linking the choice to Tehran’s decision to cancel the execution of over 800 death sentences, which according to Trump would have “a huge impact”. Responding to a question about the possible pressure of Arab and Israeli officials, Trump excluded external conditioning and also cited the case Venezuela, recalling the US military force and the ability to deterrence American.
On the commercial front, commenting on a possible agreement between Canada and China, the president said that “it’s a good thing” and that if a country can reach an agreement with Beijing, “it should do so”. Trump then confirmed that he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize conferred by Maria Corina Machado, defining the gesture “very nice” and saying “very impressed” by the Venezuelan opposition leader, recently met. “It’s really a good woman,” he said, letting the contacts continue. With regard to the Insurrection Act, the President recalled that it was a tool used several times in American history. “If I needed it, I would use it. It is very powerful,” he explained, however, specifying that at the moment he does not see the conditions to resort to it. Finally, answering questions about the March for Life and the Hyde amendment, Trump praised the participants by calling them “fantasy people” and announcing that he had recorded a message dedicated to them.
