Eric Trump's joke about buying territories on Amazon sparks mixed reactions

newsweek.com

Eric Trump posted a viral joke on social media about buying territories like Greenland and the Panama Canal on Amazon. This follows his father, President-elect Donald Trump, suggesting the U.S. could reclaim these areas. The post received mixed reactions, with over 7,000 replies. Some found it disrespectful, while others supported the humorous tone. The comments come after international backlash to the President-elect's earlier remarks about expanding U.S. territory. The Panama Canal was returned to Panama in 1999, and its current government has stated it will remain under their control. The likelihood of any territorial changes is considered low.
