President Donald Trump<\/a> has made fresh threats to Canada and Greenland <\/a>with a provocative photo on his social media platform.<\/p>\n

Since before Trump returned to the White House, he has made his goal to expand north known, calling Canada the “51st State” <\/a>and insisting the US needed to acquire Greenland<\/a>, an autonomous territory of Denmark, for “national security purposes.”<\/p>\n

Trump continued his pitch to gain control of Canada and Greenland, and even threw Venezuela into the mix, with an edited photo of him showing European leaders in the Oval Office a map of the countries with an American flag superimposed over them.<\/p>\n

David Frum, a Canadian-born political writer for The Atlantic, replied to the photo Trump posted<\/a> on Truth Social Tuesday, jokingly writing<\/a> on X, “On this map, [Canadian prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party] Mark Carney would be the front-runner for the 2028 Democratic nomination and very likely next president of the United States.”<\/p>\n

Members of the European Union have pushed back on Trump’s aggressive push to acquire Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory in the Arctic, saying any attempt to undermine its sovereignty violates international law.<\/p>\n

At the height of Trump’s threats to acquire Greenland in January, Carney warned in a speech at the World Economic Forum<\/a> in Davos that received a standing ovation, “If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate.”<\/p>\n

Shortly before Carney’s speech, Trump threatened to impose a 10 percent tariff <\/a>on goods imported from several NATO allies, including Denmark, until a deal was reached for the “complete and total purchase of Greenland.”<\/p>\n

Trump then backed down from his tariff threats<\/a>, claiming at the time to have “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland” with NATO chief Mark Rutte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After American forces captured Venezuela’s President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro \u2014 who has been accused of leading a massive cocaine trafficking operation <\/a>\u2014 in January, Trump said the U.S. would run the South American country<\/a> until a peaceful transition could occur.<\/p>\n

Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, Venezuela’s vice president, however, quickly took on the role as the country’s leader<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Months later, Rodr\u00edguez pushed back on a comment<\/a> Trump had made that he was “seriously considering making Venezuela the 51st US state,” warning that Venezuela is “not a colony, but a free country.”<\/p>\n

Trump has also threatened to try to take back the Panama Canal, which ships goods between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, calling it a “vital national asset for the United States.”<\/p>\n

Panamanian President Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino has insisted that his country controls the canal and that his country’s sovereignty was “non-negotiable.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump has made fresh threats to Canada and Greenland with a provocative photo on his social…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129512,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5],"tags":[2657,227,23040,184,57,59,62989,62988,62987,4247],"class_list":["post-129511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-greenland","tag-autonomous-territory","tag-canada","tag-canadian-prime-minister","tag-donald-trump","tag-greenland","tag-mark-carney","tag-members-of-the-european-union","tag-provocative-photo","tag-social-media-platform","tag-venezuela"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116920595741277130","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129511"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129511\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
