  • U.S. President-elect Donald Trump refused on Tuesday to rule out using military or economic action to pursue acquisition of the Panama Canal and Greenland, part of a broader expansionist agenda he has promoted since winning the Nov.

The article from MSN discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's interest in reacquiring the Panama Canal and Greenland, suggesting he would not rule out using force to achieve these objectives. Trump has reportedly expressed frustration over the U.S. handing over the Panama Canal to Panama in 1999 and has mused about the strategic importance of both the canal and Greenland. His comments have raised concerns about potential military action, although no concrete plans or official statements from Trump or his administration explicitly confirm such intentions. The article also touches on the geopolitical implications of these ambitions, noting that Greenland, an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, has been of strategic interest due to its natural resources and strategic location. However, any move to take control by force would likely face significant international opposition.
