Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Leaders across the globe reacted to Donald Trump’s return to the White House on Monday, offering general good wishes and extending geopolitical olive branches.While President Trump set the tone in his inaugural address and declared he would “put America first,” he also drew attention to specific areas like Mexico, Panama and China – sparking more questions over how new American policies under the 47th president of the United States could take shape.Neither the China, Mexico nor Panama governments responded to Fox News Digital’s questions following the remarks issued by Trump during his inaugural address, including when he vowed to “take back” the Panama Canal, which the U.S. fully handed over to Panama in 1999.”China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama,” the president said. “And we’re taking it back.”Trump also vowed to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and pledged to reinstate his “Remain in Mexico” policies. CNN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN CLAIMS TRUMP FULFILLED ‘PROMISE TO BE A DICTATOR ON DAY ONE’ WITH EXECUTIVE ORDERSTOP TARGETSPanama President José Raúl Mulino issued a statement rejecting Trump’s comments and said, “The Canal is and will continue to be Panama’s and its administration will continue to be under Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality.””There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes with our administration,” he added, taking issue with Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. “gave” the canal to Panama.”Dialogue is always the way to clarify the points mentioned without undermining our right, total sovereignty and ownership of our Canal.,” Mulino said. Reports suggested that Mexico rejected Trump’s plans to implement a “Remain in Mexico” policy and during a Monday morning conference, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, Mexico’s secretary for external relations, said, “If they reinstate it, this is something we don’t agree with. We have a different focus. We want to adjust it.” “The desire is to keep the same policies as now,” he added.China does not appear to have commented publicly following Trump’s inaugural address, which was attended by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng. ‘NATIONAL EMERGENCY’: TRUMP DECLARES AMBITIOUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN IN INAUGURAL ADDRESSON THE WAR IN UKRAINERussian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Trump on re-entering the White House and suggested he may be open to peace talks with Ukraine. “We see the statements by the newly elected President of the United States and members of his team about the desire to restore direct contacts with Russia,” Putin said, according to a Reuters translation.”We also hear his statement about the need to do everything possible to prevent World War III,” he added. “We of course welcome this attitude and congratulate the elected President of the United States of America on taking office.”Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy similarly issued his congratulations just ahead of the inauguration ceremony and said, “I congratulate President Trump and the American people on the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States. Today is a day of change and also a day of hope for the resolution of many problems, including global challenges.”President Trump is always decisive, and the peace through strength policy he announced provides an opportunity to strengthen American leadership and achieve a long-term and just peace, which is the top priority,” he added. TRUMP ORDERS US WITHDRAWAL FROM WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONEUROPEAN ALLIESNATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte offered his “warm congratulations” and in a post on X said, “With President Trump back in office we will turbo-charge defense spending and production.”European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen also took to X and said the international body “looks forward to working closely with you to tackle global challenges.””Together, our societies can achieve greater prosperity and strengthen their common security,” she added. While many nations in Europe, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, congratulated Trump, with several leaders pronouncing that the U.S. is their closest ally, other nations in Europe were less willing to issue pronounced congratulations.French President Emmanuel Macron issued a note of warning when giving a speech to the French military on Monday.Macron said the Trump presidency was an “opportunity for a European strategic wake-up call” and highlighted scenarios that some have feared could affect European security, like a lessening of U.S. military presence in Europe if Washington opts to shift focus toward security concerns in Asia instead. MIDDLE EAST Just one day into the long-brokered cease-fire between Israel and Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video message on X in which he congratulated Trump and said, “I believe that working together again we will raise the US-Israel alliance to even greater heights.””The best days of our alliance are yet to come,” he added. Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri also commented on the inauguration of the 47th president, saying, “We are happy with the departure of Biden, who has the blood of Palestinians on his hand,” reported Reuters. “We hope for the end of this dark era that harmed the U.S. before anyone and that Trump can build his policies on balanced foundations that can cut the road against Netanyahu’s evils that want to drown the region and the world,” he added.
