I was just reading about Trump’s recent press conference at Mar-a-Lago, and it occurred to me that part of it was classic Trump. When he was asked about potentially using military or economic measures to control Greenland or the Panama Canal, he responded, “I’m not going to commit to that.”
His comments during that press conference left many reporters puzzled, prompting repeated questions for clarification.
The president-elect emphasized that the United States needs both regions for economic and national security reasons.
Whatever measures president-elect Trump is considering or not considering, he is certainly not going to state them now. Part of “The Art of the Deal” is to always keep them guessing, and to always let them know that even some extreme positions are always a consideration.
From the Epoch Times:
“One of the benefits of Trump’s approach, whether intentional or not, is that it creates public discourse on issues that would typically be handled behind the scenes, Michael Walsh, a U.S. foreign policy expert, told The Epoch Times.
‘It stirs discussion and debate. And you’re seeing that right now. You hear people on the metro talking about Greenland and Panama,’ Walsh said.”
Perhaps within the next four years we’ll be talking about considering Greenland as the 51st state!
Remember: You heard it here first!
