President-elect Donald Trump spoke on a range of issues Tuesday at a press conference held at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, including pardons for Jan. 6 defendants, foreign investment, his classified documents case, and more.

The president-elect held the news conference just 13 days before his inauguration.

Comments on Greenland, Panama Canal

As his son, Donald Trump Jr., visits Greenland this week, the president-elect discussed his wish for the United States to control the Panama Canal and Greenland. He also joked about naming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” which he said would be “appropriate” and “beautiful.”
