Trump criticizes Biden's commutation of death sentences for 37 individuals

Former President Donald Trump has refused to extend Christmas greetings to 37 individuals whose death sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden. Trump criticized Biden for pardoning what he called "the most violent criminals" and expressed his discontent on social media. Biden announced the commutations on Monday, changing the sentences from execution to life imprisonment without parole. This action aligns with his administration's moratorium on federal executions, except in specific cases like terrorism. In his Christmas message, Trump also reiterated his views on acquiring the Panama Canal, Canada, and Greenland, citing national security and economic benefits. He suggested that these territories would enhance the United States' position globally.
