  • Panama Canal, Canada and Greenland are the prime targets in Donald Trump's foreign policy list. Trump has threatened to demand control of the Panama Canal be returned to Washington. He has also stoked political mayhem in Canada by intensifying a crisis that threatens to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in expanding U.S. territory, focusing on his comments about acquiring Greenland, building a canal in Panama, and even mentioning Canada. Trump's fascination with Greenland, which he discussed during his presidency, stems from its strategic location and potential resources, although his efforts were met with rejection from Denmark. His mention of a canal in Panama likely refers to the existing Panama Canal, which is crucial for global trade, but his comments could imply a desire for greater U.S. control or influence over such strategic assets. Additionally, Trump's offhand remarks about Canada might reflect a broader, albeit less serious, contemplation of territorial expansion. These ideas, while often dismissed as whimsical or provocative, highlight Trump's unconventional approach to foreign policy and his interest in enhancing U.S. geopolitical leverage through territorial or infrastructural means.
