Trump wants to take Greenland from Denmark, make Canada the 51st state and retake the Panama Canal, threats reflecting his view that might makes right.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's interest in acquiring control over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, highlighting his past attempts and the geopolitical implications of such ambitions. Trump's previous interest in buying Greenland from Denmark was met with rejection and ridicule, illustrating his often transactional approach to international relations. The piece suggests that Trump's desire to control these strategic locations stems from a mix of economic, military, and prestige motives. However, his approach has been criticized for lacking diplomatic finesse, potentially damaging U.S. relations with allies like Canada and Denmark. The article also touches on the broader implications of such territorial ambitions, including how they might be perceived globally and the potential for increased tensions or conflicts. It concludes by noting that while Trump's ideas might seem far-fetched, they reflect a broader strategy of asserting U.S. dominance in key regions, albeit executed in a manner that has often been seen as bungled or insensitive to international norms.
