Trump renews call to buy Greenland while eyeing Canada and Panama Canal

Donald Trump, the president-elect, is renewing his calls to buy Greenland from Denmark, citing national security. This follows his recent comments about Canada potentially becoming a U.S. state and the U.S. regaining control of the Panama Canal. Trump's remarks come as he named his ambassador to Denmark. Greenland's government has rejected his proposals, stating, "Greenland is ours. We are not for sale." Trump previously faced backlash for his 2019 offer to buy Greenland, which Denmark rejected. In addition to Greenland, Trump has criticized rising shipping costs at the Panama Canal, suggesting the U.S. should reclaim it. Panama's president responded firmly, asserting that the canal belongs to Panama.
