As the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump made a triumphant return to the White House with his inaugural address, setting the stage for a new era of American policies and international relations. Trump’s bold statements on key issues such as China, Mexico, and Panama have sparked curiosity and speculation about the direction his administration will take.

In his address, President Trump declared his intention to “take back” the Panama Canal, a move that raised eyebrows both domestically and internationally. While Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino rejected Trump’s comments and reaffirmed Panama’s sovereignty over the canal, Trump’s pledge to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” policies have stirred debate and discussion.

Mexico also expressed its opposition to Trump’s proposed immigration policies, with Secretary for External Relations Juan Ramón de la Fuente stating that Mexico does not agree with the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy. Similarly, China has remained silent on Trump’s remarks, leaving room for speculation on how the U.S.-China relationship may evolve under the new administration.

On the global stage, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on his return to office and expressed openness to peace talks with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also extended his congratulations to Trump, emphasizing the importance of strong American leadership in achieving global peace.

In Europe, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen welcomed Trump’s return to the White House, highlighting the potential for increased defense spending and cooperation on global challenges. However, French President Emmanuel Macron issued a cautious warning about the implications of a shifting U.S. military presence in Europe under the Trump administration.

In the Middle East, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s leadership and expressed optimism about strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance. Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri also weighed in on the inauguration, expressing hope for a new era of balanced policies that could counter Netanyahu’s influence in the region.

Overall, Trump’s return to the White House has sparked a mix of reactions from leaders around the world, with many expressing optimism for the future while others remain cautious about the potential implications of his policies.
