Trump Won't Rule Out Using Economic, Military Coercion to Gain Control of Greenland, Panama Canal

^{Published on 2025-01-07 13:01:39 - MSN}

The president-elect threatened to hit Denmark with tariffs 'at a very high level' if officials don't cooperate with his bid to take over Greenland.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's interest in using economic and military coercion to gain control over Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump has not ruled out the possibility of employing such tactics, as revealed by his former national security adviser, John Bolton, in his book "The Room Where It Happened." Trump's fascination with Greenland stems from its strategic location and potential natural resources, while his interest in the Panama Canal relates to its critical role in global trade. Despite these ambitions, Trump's suggestions were met with skepticism and resistance from his advisers, who viewed these ideas as impractical and potentially damaging to U.S. international relations. The article highlights how these considerations were part of Trump's broader, often controversial, foreign policy approach.
