  • President-elect Trump refused to commit to avoiding use of military force to take control of Greenland or the Panama Canal at a press conference on Tuesday. Why it matters: Trump's remark is an escalation of his rhetoric regarding Greenland and the Panama Canal.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's comments during a Fox News interview where he did not rule out the use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump suggested that Greenland could be a strategic asset for the U.S., hinting at its potential military and resource value. He also mentioned the Panama Canal, noting its importance for global trade and U.S. interests, and implied that military action could be considered if negotiations failed. These remarks have raised concerns about Trump's foreign policy approach, particularly his willingness to use military power to assert U.S. dominance over strategic locations. Critics argue that such statements could undermine international relations and provoke unnecessary conflicts.
