These statements caused a wide resonance and have already been commented on by experts.

During his speech, Trump outlined a number of ideas that caused mixed reactions:

• Canada as the 51st US state. Trump suggested the possibility of using economic power to integrate Canada into the United States, emphasizing that this would be beneficial for national security.
• Return of the Panama Canal and control of Greenland.Trump has not ruled out using military and economic pressure to achieve these goals.
• Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf. According to him, this name more fairly reflects US interests.
• Attitude towards Ukraine and NATO. Trump expressed “understanding” of Vladimir Putin’s concerns about Ukraine joining the alliance, adding that the Russian leader is interested in a meeting, which, in his opinion, could take place before the inauguration.
• Aggravation of the situation in the Middle East. Trump has warned of a possible escalation if hostages held by Hamas are not released before he takes office.

Military analyst and retired IDF senior lieutenant Yigal Levin commented on these statements, emphasizing that the current global security system, based on a balance between the capitalist and socialist blocs, is outdated and beginning to collapse.

“What lies ahead is the logic and norms of the good old 19th century, only with the expansion of this logic into space, where there will be a cut between the United States and China. This hack requires resources. The Americans see how China is taking away tasty parts for itself (Russia, for example, whose mineral resources are rich in precious metals, etc.) in preparation for this breakthrough, and they are also in a hurry to expand their influence and designate which tasty parts of the planet are their pieces. Globally, all sorts of Russia and Canada are dust, the main battle will be for the Moon, Mars, Lagrange points, etc. So, yes, the 21st and 22nd centuries will be fun,” Levin noted.
