7 Bold Promises from President-Elect Trump: What’s in Store? (2 of 5)

2. Greenland: A Controversial Goal

Trump has reignited his interest in acquiring Greenland, the massive Arctic island currently governed by Denmark. Though this idea was floated and dismissed in 2019, his latest comments suggest a more serious intent. Danish officials have voiced their disapproval, emphasizing Greenland’s autonomy, but Trump remains undeterred. Could this be an unprecedented geopolitical move or just another bold statement? Time will tell.

3. Panama Canal Revisited

Trump has expressed regret over the U.S. handing control of the Panama Canal to Panama in 1999, calling it a “mistake.” He’s hinted at wanting the U.S. to regain influence over this vital trade route, though Panama has made it clear that their sovereignty is non-negotiable. The president-elect’s remarks have sparked tensions, with critics questioning the feasibility of such a move.
