President-elect Donald Trump has proposed that the U.S. should control Canada, purchase Greenland, and retake the Panama Canal. His comments have led to significant backlash from the countries involved, particularly Panama and Canada. Trump criticized Panama's fees for using the canal and suggested Canada should become the 51st state. His remarks have caused political turmoil in Canada, resulting in the resignation of the finance minister. The Danish Prime Minister stated that Greenland is not for sale but is open to cooperation. Trump previously attempted to buy Greenland in 2019, which was rejected. He has appointed Miami-Dade County Commissioner Kevin Cabrera as the ambassador to Panama.
