Trump Threatens US Expansion into Canada, Greenland w/ Joe Lauria

Trump is less than two weeks away from returning to the White House, and instead of focusing on ways he can serve the American people, he seems to be more focused on U.S. expansion. During a press conference on Tuesday, he said he wouldn’t rule out using military force to seize the Panama Canal or Greenland, as he also shared a map on social media that labeled Canada as part of the U.S.

Joe Lauria, Journalist and Editor-in-Chief of Consortium News, noted that Trump’s imperialist rhetoric represents Washington’s foreign policy at its core, and is nothing new for the U.S. and its long history of forced expansion.
