President-elect Trump says he does not rule out taking Greenland or the Panama canal by military force or economic coercion, according to Reuters, which states Trump was asked “whether he could assure the world he would not use military or economic coercion as he tries to gain control of the Panama Canal and Greenland” to which he answered “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two. But I can say this, we need them for economic security.”
