President-elect Donald Trump ran on a platform of isolating the US from foreign conflicts like the Ukraine war, increasing tariffs on foreign trade partners, and rebuilding domestic manufacturing. https://gillspaste.com/t6iz5nyyd?key=013bf037fe1ddd66a4b32fbd4a3fe88f But in recent days he has suggested a more outwardly aggressive approach for his foreign policy. At first, he joked about Canada being an additional US state. Since, he has threatened to  take back control of the Panama Canal . He also reiterated a desire from his first term to own the autonomous Danish territory of Greenland, which  is not for sale . https://gillspaste.com/t6iz5nyyd?key=013bf037fe1ddd66a4b32fbd4a3fe88f The US is unlikely to take control of any of these regions.   But these statements could indicate that Trump's "America First" vision includes flexing the superpower's muscle beyond its borders for US trade and national security interests.

  Ten years ago, doctor Ko Wen-je entered politics wearing a white robe, flaunting the image of a clean "political novice", attracting a large number of young supporters and middle-class voters. Ten years later, he was in prison in prison clothes. After being detained for more than 100 days on suspicion of corruption, the prosecutors formally asked the court to sentence him to 28 and a half years on December 26, 2024.
