  • Donald Trump has refused to rule out using military force to bring Greenland and the Panama Canal under US control. Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago resort during a news conference, the President-elect said that he needs both the world's largest island and the Central American canal for "economic security".

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's comments on potentially using military force to address issues with Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump, in a recent interview, did not rule out the possibility of military action to gain control over Greenland, which he has previously expressed interest in purchasing from Denmark. He suggested that if negotiations failed, military options could be considered. Similarly, regarding the Panama Canal, Trump hinted at the possibility of military intervention if the U.S. were to face any issues with its control or operation, despite the canal being under Panamanian sovereignty with the U.S. having rights to its defense. These statements have raised concerns about Trump's approach to international relations and his willingness to use military force to achieve geopolitical objectives.
