Trump Suggests He Might Try to Force a Takeover of Greenland and the Panama Canal

Donald Trump is sounding more and more serious about wanting to expand the United States’ territory — specifically into Greenland and Panama.

Asked whether he would “assure the world” that he would not “use military or economic coercion” to gain control of land, the president-elect said “no.”

“I can’t assure you on either of those two,” Trump said during a press conference Tuesday of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, and the Panama Canal, which is part of a sovereign nation.
