negotiate a new treaty? Are you going to ask the Canadians to hold the vote? What is the strategy?

I can't assure you. You're talking about Panama and Greenland. No, I can't assure you on either of those two.

But I can say this. We need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for a military.

I'm not going to commit to that now.

It might be that you'll have to do something. 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. And they've abused it. They've abused that gift. It should have never been made, by the way. Giving the Panama Canal is why Jimmy Carter lost the election, in my opinion, more so maybe than the hostages. The hostages were a big deal. But if you remember, and nobody wants to talk about the Panama Canal because, you know,

it's inappropriate, I guess, because it's a bad part of the Carter legacy. But he was a good man.

Look, he was a good man. I knew him a little bit, and he was a very fine person. But that was a big mistake. Giving the Panama Canal to Panama was a very big mistake.

We lost 38,000 people.

It cost us the equivalent of a trillion dollars, maybe more than probably the most expensive.

They say it was the most expensive structure, if we call it a structure, which I guess you

can, ever built.

And giving that away was a horrible thing. And I believe that's why Jimmy Carter lost the election, even more so than the hostage.

Those two things. We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America.

What a beautiful name. And it's appropriate. It's appropriate. Listen, I don't care what he says.

Sir, real fast. You said you were considering military force to acquire Panama and Greenland.

Are you also considering military force to annex and acquire?

No, economic force.

Because Canada and the United States, that would really be something.

You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like.

And it would also be much better for national security.

Don't forget, we basically protect Canada. But here's the problem with Canada. So many friends up there.
