After Panama Canal, Trump now wants US to buy Greenland: 'Absolute necessity'

India Today  

After Donald Trump demanded the return of the Panama Canal under the US's control, the President-elect has now said that he wanted to buy and control Greenland, which is a part of the North American continent but is controlled by Denmark. "For purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," Trump wrote on Truth Social. TRUMP'S REMARKS ON PANAMA CANAL Trump's remarks on Greenland came after he threatened Panama to return control of the Panama Canal to the US if Latin American country continued to charge what he described as "ridiculous" passage fees for American vessels. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino sharply rebuked Trump, saying his country's independence was non-negotiable and defended the passage rates Panama charged, asserting they were not set "on a whim", Reuters reported.
