Trump is considering declaring a national economic emergency to impose widespread tariffs, which could bypass traditional national security justifications, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
The potential move to declare a national emergency indicates Trump's significant ambitions for economic coercion against both allies and adversaries, following widespread international backlash.
During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Trump claimed the Panama Canal was vital to the U.S. and demanded its return from China, prompting strong rejection from leaders.
In addition to the Panama Canal claims, Trump threatened Denmark with high tariffs if the country resisted his ambitions regarding Greenland, reinforcing the precarious nature of international relations.
