"We'll Be Changing Name Of Gulf Of Mexico To Gulf Of America": Donald Trump

Palm Beach, Florida:
Donald Trump threatened military action to secure the Panama Canal and economic force against neighboring Canada, in a meandering press conference Tuesday a day after Congress certified his election victory.

The Republican president-elect had gathered reporters at his home in southern Florida to announce a $20 billion Emirati investment in US technology, but his remarks quickly became a rally-style rant as he returned at length to familiar campaign themes.

"Since we won the election, the whole perception of the whole world is different. People from other countries have called me. They said, 'Thank you, thank you,'" Trump said as he set out his agenda for the coming four years.

The billionaire announced he was going to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" and threatened the US's southern neighbour again with massive tariffs if it does not halt illegal border crossings.

"We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring," he told reporters, adding that "It's appropriate. And Mexico has to stop allowing millions of people to pour into our country."

He refused to rule out using military force to seize Greenland and the Panama Canal -- both of which he has long coveted -- criticizing recently deceased Jimmy Carter for permitting a handover to local control of the Central American waterway when he was president.

Asked if he would use military force to bring Canada to heel, the incoming president said "no -- economic force," but added that eliminating the "artificially drawn" US-Canada border would be a boon to national security.

As with many of Trump's pronouncements, it was difficult to separate humor or bombast from genuine policy, but the remarks will be seen as an escalation of his rhetoric on territorial expansion and drew a dismissive response from across the border.

There is a "snowball's chance in hell" that Canada will merge with the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded, while Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said it would "never back down" over Trump's threats.

'A WORLD THAT'S BURNING'

Built by the United States, the Panama Canal was handed to the Central American country a quarter-century ago and President Jose Raul Mulino has refused to entertain negotiations over its control.

"Look, the Panama Canal is vital to our country. It's being operated by China -- China! -- and we gave the Panama Canal to Panama, we didn't give it to China," Trump said. "And they've abused it, they've abused that gift."

Trump has also ruffled European feathers with a separate territorial proposal -- to buy Greenland, an island abutting the emerging Arctic geopolitical battleground that the former real estate developer sees as important to US security.

Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., arrived on the island shortly before his father's remarks for what was described as a personal visit, with no official meetings scheduled.

Denmark -- which owns Greenland and says it is not for sale -- is a US ally and a fellow member of NATO, another target of Trump's ire as he demanded that nations in the western alliance boost their defense spending.

"Europe is in for a tiny fraction of the money that we're in," Trump said. "We have a thing called the ocean in between us, right? Why are we in for billions and billions of dollars more money than Europe?"

In a foreign-policy focused speech, the Republican hammered President Joe Biden over the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, repeating a favorite false claim that America "had no wars" during the first Trump term.

The president-elect -- who spent much of the news conference focused on Biden -- also hammered the White House over the 2025 transition, claiming that officials were "trying everything they can to make it more difficult."

Trump, who returns to the White House on January 20, has not acknowledged his 2020 defeat and refused to participate in the transfer of power to Biden.

Malaysia to adopt nuclear power as energy source: Rafizi Ramli

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is set to adopt nuclear power generation as one of its energy sources in the coming years, according to Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli.

The minister said the decision regarding the country's potential use of nuclear energy has been made, and the responsibility is being undertaken by the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (Petra) and the Science, Technology, and Innovation Ministry (Mosti).

He said this is to ensure that the legal and regulatory framework can be established in advance.

"Since the decision has been made by the National Energy Council and endorsed by the Cabinet, nuclear energy is likely to be included in the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK-13) as one of the country's official energy sources," he told reporters after the National OGSE Blueprint Forum 2024 here today.

According to Rafizi, nuclear is a cleaner energy source compared to others, which could help the country achieve its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

He added that the operational costs for the lifespan of nuclear energy are also more secure because they do not depend on the fluctuations of raw material prices, such as gas and coal.

He said as a result, since nuclear energy does not rely on these raw materials, its lifespan is more assured.

Rafizi also noted that many other countries have returned to nuclear power generation.

He said in addition, current nuclear technology is different from past nuclear technology, which required large facilities.

"At present, there are small modular reactors (SMRs) that are smaller, safer, and do not require high costs.

"SMRs will make it easier and cheaper to use in areas that need energy compared to conventional energy sources.

"Due to these factors, especially the SMR technology, the government has decided to study the feasibility of nuclear energy in Malaysia," he said.

When asked whether the government would fund the implementation of nuclear energy, Rafizi said the government is only establishing a comprehensive framework, including international regulations.

He said based on the current industrial model for power generation, project implementation is driven by the private sector.

"In the initial phase, the government will focus on the framework and ensure that Malaysia complies with international regulations.

"I believe that for the energy sector to be involved in nuclear energy, decisions and regulations will likely be made and overseen by the Energy Commission," he said.
