Trump Eyes Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal Purchases

President-elect Donald Trump has reignited discussions about acquiring Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, citing strategic and economic benefits. Trump's former National Security Advisor, Robert O'Brien, supports the Greenland acquisition as a strategic move in the Arctic, while former U.S. Ambassador Carla Sands calls it a 'common-sense solution' against China and Russia's influence. However, Kevin O'Leary, a Canadian investor, suggests that Trump's idea of annexing Canada could lead to deeper economic ties akin to a union, though it's considered controversial. Trump’s expansionist rhetoric, including the notion of controlling the Panama Canal, has been dismissed by some analysts like Jonathan Kott as mere media-driven 'ramblings'. The discussions have sparked debates on national security, trade, and geopolitical strategy, reflecting Trump's unconventional approach to international relations.
