According to the New York Post, sources close to President-elect Trump revealed that Trump is '100% serious' about 'taking back' Greenland and the Panama Canal, adding that he researched Greenland during his first term. The sources stated that Trump developed a 'feasible' negotiation plan in the last year of his first term, aimed at winning the support of the 56,000 residents of semi-autonomous Greenland, most of whom are Inuit, and then submitting the local residents' decision to Copenhagen, Denmark for approval, before 'handing over' Greenland. If successful, the relationship between Greenland and the United States would be similar to that between the United States and the Pacific island nations of Palau, the Marshall Islands, and Micronesia.
