Trump renews calls to buy Greenland while eyeing Canada and Panama Canal
President-elect Donald Trump is renewing his calls for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, a proposal he made during his first term. He argues that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for national security. Trump's recent comments also include suggestions about retaking the Panama Canal and making Canada the 51st U.S. state. He claims the U.S. is being "ripped off" by rising shipping costs at the canal. Greenland's Prime Minister, Múte Bourup Egede, responded that Greenland is not for sale. He emphasized the island's commitment to its autonomy, which was established in 1979.
