  • In the space of an hour, President-elect Donald Trump called for absorbing Canada, declined to rule out using military force to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland, demanded NATO allies spend 5% of GDP on defense and vowed "all hell would break loose" in the Middle East if Hamas doesn't release Israeli hostages before he takes office.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's potential second term, highlighting his past comments and actions regarding Panama and Greenland as indicative of his foreign policy approach. Trump reportedly threatened Panama over a hotel dispute and considered purchasing Greenland from Denmark, showcasing a transactional view of international relations. These incidents are cited as examples of how Trump might operate with fewer constraints if re-elected, potentially leading to more aggressive or unconventional foreign policy decisions. The article suggests that Trump's approach could involve leveraging U.S. power more directly for what he perceives as national or personal interests, with less regard for traditional diplomatic norms.
