After previously expressing the hope that the USA would regain control over the Panama Canal and acquire Greenland, which is controlled by Denmark, elected President Trump on Monday refused to rule out the possibility of taking military or economic action regarding this. When asked at a press conference whether he would refrain from using military or economic coercion in Panama and Greenland, Trump stated: "No, I can't guarantee either. But I can say that for economic security, we need them." This unusual statement further outlines Trump's expansionist agenda, as he will be sworn in in Washington on January 20, two weeks from now. Trump also vowed to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of the USA and reiterated his commitment to imposing heavy tariffs on Mexico and Canada. "It covers a lot of territory," he said when referring to the Gulf of Mexico. "'Gulf of the USA.' What a beautiful name."
