Donald Trump has renewed his calls for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, a proposal he first made in 2019. He claims that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. In addition to Greenland, Trump has suggested that the U.S. could retake control of the Panama Canal and proposed that Canada become the 51st state. These comments come as he prepares to take office on January 20. Greenland's government has rejected Trump's claims, stating, "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale." Panama's president also asserted that the canal belongs to Panama, responding to Trump's remarks about reclaiming it.
