Trump refuses to rule out military action to seize control of Panama Canal, Greenland

Firstpost  

Trump also vowed to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and repeated his promise to impose significant tariffs on Mexico and Canada. President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force or economic action as part of his avowed desire to have the US take back control of the Panama Canal and acquire Danish-controlled Greenland. “I’m not going to commit to that,” Trump said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. The Panama Canal is vital to our country.” He added, “We need Greenland for national security purposes.” Trump told residents of Greenland that “we’re going to treat you well” as his oldest son visited the mineral-rich Danish territory that’s home to a large U.S. military base, heightening speculation that the incoming U.S. administration could seek to acquire it.
