Donald Trump has renewed his calls to buy Greenland from Denmark, a proposal he first made in 2019. He claims U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. Greenland's leader has rejected the idea, stating, "We are not for sale." In addition to Greenland, Trump has suggested that the U.S. could reclaim the Panama Canal, citing rising shipping costs. Panama's president firmly stated that the canal belongs to Panama, while Trump responded with a provocative social media post. Trump has also proposed that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, referring to its prime minister as the "governor" of Canada. Trudeau has indicated that Trump was joking about this idea.
