The Impact of Trump's Policies on Greenland and Panama

Trump's administration suggested ambitious policies concerning Greenland and the Panama Canal, creating a stir regarding their sovereignty. The claim of U.S. interest in Greenland was framed as a negotiation tactic, potentially offering American citizenship to its Inuit residents while maintaining Denmark's nominal control. This approach reflects a broader strategy to shift power dynamics favorably for the U.S. by leveraging historical ties and current geopolitical tensions with China, who has established significant influence in Panama. The implications of such policies emphasize America's focus on strategic territories and economic interests, as well as a fantasy of expanding American influence in regions traditionally dominated by other nations.
