Trump's Territorial Ambitions

Donald Trump has expressed desires to acquire Greenland, the Panama Canal, and even to dissolve the U.S.-Canada border as part of his foreign policy agenda. He believes Greenland's strategic location and mineral resources are crucial for national security and economic interests, marking a return to themes he originally proposed during his first presidency. Trump's suggestion that Denmark should relinquish Greenland and his provocative statements about tariffs indicate an aggressive stance toward U.S. control over these areas. Additionally, he argues that securing these territories is necessary for the U.S. to maintain military influence, especially amidst growing concerns about rival powers like China in the Arctic.
