“Yes, there is one thing. My morals. My mind. That’s the only thing that can stop me,” the US president said in an interview when asked if there were any limits to his global influence.
Following Trump’s order, on January 3, during a US military operation in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, the leader of the regime, was captured and taken out of the country, who is currently in a detention center in New York.
Trump has also reiterated this month that he wants to acquire Greenland as US property.
“I don’t need international law,” Trump said in the interview, adding that he was not going to hurt people. After that, Trump indicated that he must respect international law, but said that everything depends on how international law is defined.
Declaring himself the “president of peace” and claiming the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump has carried out a series of military operations in his second term as president. In June, Trump ordered an attack on Iran’s nuclear program, and last year he also launched attacks on Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and most recently, Venezuela.
Since Maduro’s capture, Trump has also threatened a number of other countries, including Colombia, as well as Greenland, which belongs to NATO member Denmark.
Asked whether his priority was to preserve NATO or gain control of Greenland, Trump told The New York Times that “that might be the choice.”
