Trump's Ambitions for Territorial Expansion

Donald Trump expresses intentions to expand U.S. territory by suggesting the retaking of the Panama Canal and proposing the purchase of Greenland. His comments evoke historical notions of manifest destiny, hinting at a belief that the U.S. has the right to acquire new lands. Critics argue that Trump's approach towards Panama, a strategic ally, risks alienating a government that has successfully managed the canal since its handover in 1999. This raises concerns about diplomatic relations and reveals a potential misunderstanding of the complexities involved in international governance.
