Trump, '100% Serious,' Reiterates Desire to Acquire Greenland, Canada, and Panama Canal Before January 20, 2025
Dec 24, 2024, 06:20 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his desire to acquire Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, describing the acquisition as an 'absolute necessity' for the United States. Sources close to Trump have stated that he is '100% serious' about these ambitions, viewing them as a strategic move to counter threats from China and Russia. This marks a revival of Trump's previous calls during his first term for the U.S. to purchase Greenland from Denmark, which has previously been rejected. Trump's comments have drawn attention as he prepares to take office on January 20, 2025, and have sparked discussions regarding the implications of such territorial ambitions. The Danish government and Panama's president have both dismissed Trump's claims, reaffirming that Greenland and the Panama Canal are not for sale.
