Trump expresses serious interest in U.S. control over Panama Canal and Greenland
President-elect Donald Trump has recently expressed intentions to assert U.S. control over the Panama Canal and Greenland. He cites security concerns and commercial interests as reasons for this expansionist approach. Trump's comments differ from previous lighthearted suggestions about Canada becoming the "51st state." His recent statements indicate a serious interest in acquiring Greenland, especially given its strategic location and mineral resources. In naming a new ambassador to Denmark, Trump suggested that his earlier offer to buy Greenland could be revisited, signaling a more determined stance on U.S. territorial ambitions.
