Donald Trump has renewed his calls for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, a proposal he first made in 2019. He stated that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. In addition to Greenland, Trump has suggested that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state and has made comments about retaking control of the Panama Canal, which the U.S. relinquished in 1999. Greenland's leader responded that the island is not for sale, emphasizing its autonomy. Panama's president also rejected Trump's claims about the canal, asserting that it belongs to Panama.
