Donald Trump News: America's newly elected President Donald Trump has not even taken the oath of office yet, but his symbolic statements have created quite a stir. After making an allegedly humorous offer to consider making Canada the 51st state of America, Trump has expressed a 'desire' to control Panama and Greenland. Is Trump seriously considering expanding America's borders? Or is their entire interest only in increasing and securing America's commercial, business and economic interests as much as possible? Trump, who is going to take oath as US President on January 20, is clearly indicating through his words what kind of foreign policy he is going to have in his new term. Let us find out and try to understand what and why Trump made statements regarding Greenland, Canada and Panama. In fact, Donald Trump has now told the Central American country Panama that Panama is charging more money than necessary from American cargo ships, which is completely wrong. Either he should reduce the canal fees or he should give back control over it to America. This is very expensive for us and we will stop it as soon as possible. America has had interest in Greenland in the past as well. Greenland is a part of the North American continent, but at present it is under the control of Denmark. Trump wrote on Truth Social that for the purpose of national security and freedom all over the world, the USA feels that it is very important for it to capture and control Greenland. He made this statement while announcing Ken Howery as the US Ambassador to Denmark. By the way, Trump has also expressed his special interest in Greenland during his first term i.e. between 2017 and 2021. The important thing is that in 1946, America made an offer to Denmark for Greenland in which it was offered to take Greenland by giving gold worth 100 million dollars. When Trump made this offer in his last term to buy Greenland, which is full of natural resources and minerals, Denmark's leaders were angry. By the way, this is the same country which Russia also wants to 'occupy'. What an uproar about Canada..Regarding Canada, recently he had said that Canada should think of becoming the 51st state of America. This will reduce taxes and benefit Canadians through military protection. He said many Canadians would agree with this. He even called Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the 'Governor of Canada'. Donald Trump had announced a few days ago that as soon as he takes office, he will impose a 25 percent tariff on goods coming to America from Canada. Focus on the American economy… These statements of Trump can actually be linked to the gradual change in America's economic interests in the last several years. Its trade deficit with its neighboring countries has increased. Taking the trade deficit as a weakness of the economy, Trump is focusing more on his economic interests. In such a situation, it remains to be seen which of his statements he actually implements as soon as he assumes office and which he lets disappear into thin air.
