As is often the case with Trump, it’s unclear whether his remarks are to be taken at face value or if he's simply trying to stir the pot.

Trump has recently hinted at annexing Canada and other sovereign territories during his second term as president.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he wants to make Greenland a part of the United States and does not rule out using military or economic power to get Denmark to hand it over.

President-elect Donald Trump left open the possibility Tuesday that he might use military force to take over the Panama Canal and force Denmark to sell Greenland to the United States, and said he could use “economic force” to make good on his bizarre proposition of annexing Canada.
