President-elect Donald Trump has reignited discussions about U.S. territorial ambitions by suggesting that the United States should take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump has stated that owning Greenland is an 'absolute necessity' for national security and global freedom, despite Greenland's leader firmly stating that the territory is not for sale. Regarding the Panama Canal, Trump criticized the fees charged by Panama as 'ridiculous' and threatened to demand its return to the U.S. if the situation does not change. These statements have provoked strong reactions from the leaders of Greenland and Panama, who have reaffirmed their sovereignty over their respective territories.
