Trump's Reckless Threats Against America's Neighbors
The threats are damaging U.S. relations with these states and probably with many others for no reason except Trump’s amusement.
Trump repeated his reckless threats against our neighbors:
President-elect Donald J. Trump said Tuesday that he would not rule out the use of military or economic coercion to force Panama to give up control of the canal America built more than a century ago and to force Denmark to sell Greenland to the United States.
The threats against our neighbors and allies are clownish and dangerous. The targeted countries can’t possibly give Trump what he says he wants without humiliation and dishonor, and they have all fully rejected Trump’s demands. The U.S. doesn’t need any concessions from these countries, so all of this is for nothing.
