Trump does not rule out using military force to take control of Panama Canal and Greenland

^{Published on 2025-01-08 08:20:56 - MSN}

President-elect Donald Trump said during a wide-ranging press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday he wanted to see the country's debt limit addressed while cutting spending and would not rule out military force to expand U.

The article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's consideration of using military force to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland. Trump reportedly did not rule out the possibility of military action to secure these strategic locations, which are currently under the control of Panama and Denmark respectively. This interest stems from Trump's broader geopolitical strategy, where he viewed control over such assets as beneficial for U.S. interests. The Panama Canal, a vital artery for global trade, was highlighted due to its strategic importance, while Greenland was considered for its natural resources and strategic military positioning. These considerations were part of Trump's discussions with his advisers, reflecting his often unconventional approach to foreign policy. However, these ideas were met with significant pushback from his administration, citing potential international law violations and the risk of escalating tensions with other nations.
