PANews reported on January 21 that US President-elect Trump said that he would impose tariffs and taxes on foreign countries to benefit American citizens, rather than making other countries rich by taxing their own citizens. He plans to establish an external Revenue Service to collect all tariffs and taxes to attract foreign service funds into the US treasury. He stressed that this will promote a rapid recovery of the "American Dream" and achieve economic prosperity at an unprecedented speed. In addition, Trump said that the focus in the future is to defeat America's enemies while avoiding wars, and the United States does not want to be involved in wars.

Trump also proposed a number of policies, including rolling back measures taken because American ships were overcharged in the Panama Canal, and announced that the Gulf of Mexico would be renamed the American Gulf. In addition, he made it clear that from today, the official policy of the US government will recognize that there are only two genders: male and female.
