President-elect Donald Trump made numerous false claims during a wide-ranging Tuesday news conference in Florida, many of them related to foreign affairs and international trade. Here is a fact check of some of these claims.

The Foreign Secretary has called on the incoming US president to say how he will pay for a massive increase in defence spending.

Republican U.S. President-elect Donald Trump held a press conference on Tuesday and spoke about a range of issues including NATO, Israeli hostages in Gaza, his wish for the U.S. to buy Greenland and take control of the Panama Canal.

The president-elect is suddenly pushing to annex Greenland, reclaim the Panama Canal and absorb Canada, provoking longtime allies just days before taking office.

A leader willing to make veiled threats at a NATO ally as part of an imperialistic pursuit is not a leader who can be counted on for responsible restraint.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Thursday that he is working to persuade US President-elect Donald Trump to ease access for European partners to US weapons systems. Rutte told dpa that European allies are already investing hundreds of billions of dollars in the US defence industry.

Ukraine's leader says partners sending ground troops would help "force Russia into peace," as America's European allies ponder Trump's next move.

Britain’s top diplomat says Europe’s security “is on a knife-edge” and President-elect Donald Trump is right to say NATO member nations must increase military spending
