Acquiring the Panama Canal falls into the category of something Trump may want but is also using as an economic pressure campaign. For years, he has felt that President Jimmy Carter should not have returned the Panama Canal to Panama. Yet, this person said, Trump believes his trolling could get some policies to cut his way and help with negotiations. Greenland is closer to New York than Copenhagen, and the United States briefly occupied it during World War II. “Let’s say somehow Donald Trump buys Greenland and renames [the Gulf of Mexico] the Gulf of America,” this person said.

Artyom Geodakyan | Via ReutersThe Kremlin said Thursday that it's keeping a close eye on President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing pursuit of Greenland. Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told CNBC Thursday that Russia is watching the situation closely. Trump's comments were condemned in Europe, with France's Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot stating Wednesday the European Union would not tolerate attacks on its sovereign borders. That sentiment was reiterated by Greenland following Trump's comments in December, with Prime Minister Mute Egede saying: "We are not for sale and we will not be for sale" and that "Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland." Hours after Trump's comments in December, Copenhagen announced it would increase defense spending on Greenland to give it a "stronger presence in the Arctic."

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Wednesday that the United States revert to a historic name for the territory, America Mexicana, in a clapback at President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico. Trump had said during a news conference on Tuesday that he was seeking to rename the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America. "Why don't we call it America Mexicana. That name, America Mexicana, also is referenced in Mexico's Constitution of Apatzingán drafted during the independence movement against Spanish rule, the expert said. “Since 1607, the Constitution of Apatzingán was of America Mexicana, so let’s call it America Mexicana," the president then said.

Mexico’s president rejected several of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s assertions about her country and even joked that the United States should be called “Mexican America” after Mr. Trump said the Gulf of Mexico should be renamed the Gulf of America. President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico used her Wednesday morning news conference to show a world map dating from 1607. The map labeled North America as Mexican America and already identified the Gulf of Mexico as such, 169 years before the United States was founded. “Why don’t we call it Mexican America? It sounds pretty, no?” Ms. Sheinbaum said while pointing to the map and smiling.

Diplomats in world capitals said they would zero in on what his administration does, rather than what Mr. Trump says. Even before taking office, Mr. Trump, with his surprising wish list, has stirred up “here we go again” commentary from across the globe. Some believe that Mr. Trump’s fixation on Greenland, the Panama Canal and even Canada is a one-man revival of the debate over expansionist pursuits. Mr. Trump’s threats of territorial takeover may be simply a transactional starting point or some kind of personal wish. I am not so sure everything is just bullying and almost comic provocations.”But how much can Mr. Trump actually achieve or damage?

When Donald J. Trump won a return to the White House, many countries thought they knew what to expect and how to prepare for what was coming. Diplomats in world capitals said they would zero in on what his administration does, rather than what Mr. Trump says. But it’s getting harder for the world to keep calm and carry on. At Tuesday’s news conference at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump declined to rule out the use of force in a potential land grab for Greenland and the Panama Canal. Even before taking office, Mr. Trump, with his surprising wish list, has stirred up “here we go again” commentary from across the globe.

Carlos Barria | ReutersU.S. President-elect Donald Trump's ongoing pursuit of Greenland may have raised the hackles of Denmark, which retains sovereignty over the Arctic island, but his territorial ambitions seem to be gaining traction in an unlikely quarter: Russia. On Tuesday, Trump doubled-down on those comments and said he would not rule out using force to take Greenland, as well as the Panama Canal. Other pro-Kremlin pundits on the panel said Trump's ambitions validated Russia's decision to launch its own "special military operation" against Ukraine. That sentiment was reiterated by Greenland following Trump's comments in December, with Prime Minister Mute Egede saying: "We are not for sale and we will not be for sale" and that "Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland." Hours after Trump's comments in December, Copenhagen announced it would increase defense spending on Greenland to give it a "stronger presence in the Arctic."
