Outgoing President Donald Trump has revealed his ambitious plans for the Western Hemisphere, suggesting he wants to expand American territory through acquiring Greenland, reclaiming the Panama Canal, and potentially annexing Canada. He also hinted at renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the 'Gulf of America'. While the seriousness of these proposals remains unclear, Trump's repeated mentions indicate they may not be mere passing thoughts. This vision of expansion aligns with a historical trend of American territorial growth.
In addition to his bumper sticker promises to put America first and make it great again, soon-to-be President Donald Trump also apparently wants to redraw the map of the Western Hemisphere to make America much bigger. And he’s not ruling out the use of military force.
And his complaints about Canada, Panama and Mexico all revolve around the idea that the US is being cheated. That Trump refused, when asked by a reporter, to rule out using the American military to obtain land in either Greenland or Panama could give whiplash to Americans who recall his promise during the presidential campaign to keep the US out of wars. But the lack of any specifics about obtaining or annexing Greenland or Panama suggests these proposals are still very much in the idea stage.
