Trump renews call for U.S. to buy Greenland and suggests Canada as 51st state
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. He claims the U.S. is being "ripped off" by rising shipping costs at the canal. Greenland's government has rejected Trump's proposal, asserting that the island is not for sale. Panama's president also responded firmly, stating that the canal belongs to Panama and will remain so.
