President-elect Donald Trump has recently suggested a series of territorial expansions, including absorbing Canada as the 51st state, taking control of the Panama Canal, and purchasing Greenland from Denmark, which would rival historic land deals like the Louisiana Purchase or the acquisition of Alaska from Russia. Trump’s comments on the Panama Canal included a threat to take control of it unless Panama lowers fees for American ships that use the canal. The President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino, responded by stating that ownership of the canal is “not negotiable” and that it will continue to belong to Panama. Trump has also reiterated his interest in purchasing Greenland, which was first proposed in his first term, but the Prime Minister of Greenland and the Danish government have both stated that Greenland is not for sale. Trump’s transition team has not clarified whether these statements reflect genuine policy proposals or are simply rhetorical flourishes, but they have sparked reactions from foreign leaders and raised questions about the US’s approach to international relations.
Stupid bluster. None of this will happen.
Teasing? CNN is choosing funny words for actual 19th century imperialism
This is the Trump playbook. Say moronic nonsense and let the media eat that shit up while you and your kleptocrats rob the country blind.
If by ‘teasing’ you mean flooding the atmosphere with bullshit to distract from whatever the real purpose is, I agree fully.
Fallout timeline lets go
Don’t forget about the “Special Military Operation” that will seize a “buffer zone” all along northern Mexico to “protect America from the cartels.”
Outright purchase of Greenland isn’t happening as he suggested last time, but expanded control would be beneficial to the US. Both China and Russia are vying for control of Arctic routes for shipping and surveillance.
This is to legitimize Russia’s actions.
