00:00In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump, since winning last November's election,
00:05has met threats against several countries, mostly allies.
00:08Our correspondent Isaac Garcia with more details.
00:11We have to settle our...
00:14Donald Trump returns to the White House on January 20th with more threats than proposals.
00:19Greenland is among the territories under threat.
00:22People really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it.
00:27But if they do, they should give it up because we need it for national security.
00:31That's for the free world.
00:33The response from Greenland, home to 58,000 people, was not long in coming.
00:39Of course, I think these are serious things that you hear there.
00:44But what is important to emphasize is that Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.
00:49The development we want in our country and the cooperation we want with the world around us
00:53should be based on the desire we have and the values we have
00:56because that is what trusting cooperation is based on.
01:02The Panama Canal has also become a point of discord.
01:06I can say this. We need them for economic security.
01:10The Panama Canal was built for our military.
01:14I'm not going to commit to that now. It might be that you'll have to do something.
01:20Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent areas belongs to Panama
01:25and will continue to belong to Panama.
01:27The sovereignty and independence of our country are non-negotiable.
01:33Trump was met with a more forceful response and rejection of his threats
01:38when he spoke of changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
01:44The name of the Gulf of Mexico is recognized by the United Nations,
01:49a United Nations organization.
01:51But next, why don't we call it Mexican America?
01:54It sounds nice, doesn't it? Doesn't it?
02:05Since 1607, the constitution of Apatzingan was of Mexican America.
02:11So let's call it Mexican America.
02:21And that was not the only reaction from Mexico.
02:24In response to the threat of the Republican tycoon and his chief diplomat
02:28to declare Mexican criminal groups terrorists,
02:30its president said that there would be cooperation, but never subordination.
02:34She holds the same view on the immigration issue.
02:42We believe that bridges must be built, not walls,
02:45and that the most humane and effective solution to migration
02:48is to address the causes, to invest, to support
02:51so that people do not have to migrate out of necessity.
03:00Trump's much-talked-about possibility of raising tariffs on some countries
03:04also generated controversy.
03:06To one tariff, another will come in response,
03:09and so on until we put joint ventures at risk.
03:16Of all the threats, perhaps the one that has generated
03:18the most mobilization in the United States
03:21is that of deporting thousands of immigrants in irregular conditions.
