Trump Threatens to Take Control of Greenland and Panama Canal Amid Uncertain International Relations

Donald Trump has expressed interest in taking control of several territories, including the Panama Canal and Greenland. He has refused to rule out using military force to achieve this goal, citing the strategic importance of the Panama Canal to the US. Trump's comments mark a departure from decades of US policy prioritizing self-determination over territorial expansion. China has also expressed interest in Greenland, seeking its rare earth minerals for its Polar Silk Road. Donald Trump Jr recently visited Greenland for a private trip, reiterating his father's desire to acquire the territory. However, it is unclear if Trump's remarks were serious or a negotiating tactic.
