Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal

He's saying he's there just as an outdoorsman on a personal trip. But it does give a little bit of kind of trolling, doesn't it, from the Trumps. And when you look at Panama, again, Donald Trump again complained today that Panama was ripping off the United States by charging U.S. ships higher rates than other countries, that the canal was being operated by China.

Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal

The authorities there have denied that, but clearly China does have an interest as well in the Panama Canal and Donald Trump doesn't like that. So again, these comments really do have to be seen in light of how he wants to position the United States against Russia and China in the future.

Trump's threats to seize Greenland and Panama Canal

Look, Donald Trump in these press conferences really does speak kind of on the fly. He doesn't have many scripted remarks. I don't think it's something that he would have stayed away from saying in the future if he felt like it would help him. Again, he knows how to grab attention, how to grab headlines, how to get media attention.

The secret police's grip on Syria under Assad

These are large drones that are the size of bicycles, small cars. When you get close to those drones, they notice those drones kind of turn off their lights and evade police helicopters.

The secret police's grip on Syria under Assad

Just last night, coming home and being on the phone with family members and us kind of comparing how many drones we were seeing in the sky. I live in Union, New Jersey, and me and my husband counted about three. But my family members live in central Jersey, Somerset, and that's where we've really seen the majority of sightings the last few weeks. Last night, they counted more than 10 in the sky.

The Coast Guard has said that they themselves observed a low altitude aircraft in the vicinity of one of their vessels near Island Beach State Park, so on the coast. So now we're seeing this kind of fever pitch of people reporting and why we're seeing so many lawmakers in New Jersey coming out now and speaking openly about this.

Yeah, we're hearing, for example, from both the White House and the FBI that there's no evidence that these reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus. They say it legally. It's not happening in restricted airspace. They're not even sure these are drones.
