President-elect Donald Trump declined to rule out using military or economic coercion as he detailed plans to seek greater US influence over Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal during a press conference Tuesday.
Trump was asked explicitly if he would make clear he wasn’t considering a military confrontation over his desire to win US control over Greenland or the Panama Canal, and responded that he was “not going to commit to that.”
