The Hill: Hidden Reasons Behind Trump's Aggressive Ambitions.

Trump Threatens Denmark with Tariffs and Use of Force to Control Greenland

Newly elected President Trump continues to exhibit imperialistic tendencies ahead of his second term. The question of whether to take him seriously remains relevant, especially in light of his first term.

I do not rule out the use of military force to control Greenland and the Panama Canal. I will use economic power to unite the US with Canada. There is an artificial line between these countries. If Denmark does not give up control of Greenland, I will impose high tariffs on their goods,

Such words were spoken during a press conference on January 7 by Trump, reported Brett Samuels, White House correspondent for The Hill according to ZN.UA.

It is worth noting that his rhetoric proclaiming the threat of military force is not new. However, Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, which is a NATO member. The use of force against an alliance member could cause chaos among allies, the reporter insists.

While the idea of Canada joining the US as the 51st state is unlikely, Trump is trying to force Canadian leaders to comply by threatening tariffs and revising the Agreement between the US, Mexico, and Canada, which was made during his first term.

Trump's rhetoric also has political benefits for his supporters, who back his vision of American exceptionalism and dominance on the international stage, and who take pleasure in the outrage of liberals at his statements,
