Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S. in c/news@lemmy.world

I don't understand their endgame here. I'm sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don't want you to occupy sucks.

'Enough is enough': Greenland flatly rejects Trump's calls for annexation in c/world@lemmy.world

They already have strategic control over Greenland. Denmark would let the USA do almost whatever they want on greenland.

Denmark probably were the USAs biggests bitch in Europe until they started threatening Greenlands sovereignity.
