After previously expressing a desire for the United States to regain control of the Panama Canal and to acquire Greenland controlled by Denmark, President-elect Trump on Monday did not rule out the possibility of taking military or economic action regarding this. When asked at a press conference whether he would avoid using military or economic coercion in Panama and Greenland, Trump said: "No, I can't guarantee either of those. But I can say that for economic security, we need them." This unusual statement further outlines Trump's expansionist agenda, as he is set to be inaugurated in Washington on January 20. Trump also vowed to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and reiterated his commitment to impose hefty tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
