Trump called it an 'absolute necessity' for the US to own Greenland

"For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity," he wrote on his Truth Social page.


During Trump's previous term, there were reports that he was seriously considering the possibility of buying Greenland. He later confirmed that he was interested in the issue "strategically." Greenland itself said at the time that the island was not for sale.

Donald Trump threatened to take away the Panama Canal

"We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America in full, quickly, and without question," Trump said.


In 1999, control of the waterway was passed to Panama. Now the US president-elect demands it to "restore justice" and return the canal to its original owners, the United States. In particular, Trump does not like the fact that Panama has imposed high duties on the passage of American ships through the channel.

Trump, Putin may discuss mutual restrictions in nuclear field - Arms Control Association

The possibility of US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussing options for mutual restrictions between the two countries in the nuclear sphere during their upcoming direct interaction is not ruled out, Arms Control Association (ACA) Executive Director Daryl Kimball told RIA Novosti.

"To date, Trump and his team have not offered a plan for constraining dealing with Russia’s strategic arsenal nor has President Putin. But it is likely that the two presidents will engage in direct discussions regarding the conflict in Ukraine, and other issues, and it is possible, if not likely that they will discuss options for mutual constraints following the expiration of New START," Kimball said.


Nuclear arms control between the United States and Russia is a necessity for both countries, the ACA head said.

"While trust may be at an all-time low, that is all the more reason for the two sides to avoid unconstrained strategic nuclear competition now or in the future," Kimball added.
