Trump's Bold Foreign Policy Proposals
The President-elect outlined a provocative foreign policy agenda focused on economic coercion and unilateral military action, suggesting the U.S. should acquire territories such as Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even Canada. He argued that significant tariffs could pressure Canada into becoming the 51st state, as they heavily rely on U.S. exports. This approach has drawn sharp criticism from world leaders, especially from Canada, with officials asserting that they would never yield to such threats. Analysts suggest these proposals are more about negotiating tactics rather than serious intentions, aimed at gaining leverage for future trade discussions.
