Trump proposes U.S. ownership of Greenland while threatening Panama Canal control

President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that the U.S. should take ownership and control of Greenland, citing national security. This remark came as he announced Ken Howery as his ambassador to Denmark. Trump previously proposed buying Greenland in 2019, describing it as a strategic asset. His earlier suggestion was met with strong opposition from Danish and Greenlandic officials, who rejected the idea. Additionally, Trump threatened to reclaim the Panama Canal, prompting a response from Panama's president, who emphasized the country's sovereignty.
