Trump proposes controversial foreign policy ideas including buying Greenland and annexing Canada
President-elect Donald Trump is pursuing a controversial foreign policy that includes ambitions to buy Greenland, reclaim the Panama Canal, and annex Canada. He accused Panama of overcharging canal fees and called for U.S. ownership of Greenland for national security reasons. Trump's transition team has also discussed a potential "soft invasion" of Mexico. He has suggested that Canada could become the 51st state, taunting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about this idea during a recent meeting. In response to Trump's claims, Panama's president stated that the canal is part of Panama. Trump appointed Ken Howery as the U.S. ambassador to Denmark, emphasizing the importance of controlling Greenland for U.S. interests.
