The US aims at expanding with Canada as the 51st state, Panama 52nd, and Greenland 53rd.

This is according to new US President-elect Donald Trump, whose ambitious announcement caused a big resonance prior to his taking office in the White House.

Talking about the historical background of Canada, Donald Trump said it would be part of the USA without any military intervention. In his recent statement, Donald Trump claimed that the economic strength of the USA would enable her to annex the abovementioned territories under the new status of American states.

In his statement, D. Trump touched on multiple issues and he gave insight into many complex situations. For example, he says that military invasion in Panama and Greenland might be unavoidable as the US sees it as a security issue.

Donald Trump calls Panama a matter of economic security as China’s interference is a stone’s throw away from his country’s territory.

Why Panama is so strategically important for the USA?

US-Panama confrontations have been since XIX centuries and it has been finalized with the US invasion of Panama in 1989 in order to arrest Manuel Noriega, the former dictator who ruled Panama without being an elected president for almost 6 years.

In our days, the Panama-US relations have been high in many aspects. The two countries cooperate in economic, political, security, and social development through U.S. and international agencies. Cultural ties between the two countries are strong and many Panamanians go to the United States for higher education and advanced training.
Besides that, according to the demographic indicator, 25,000 American citizens reside in Panama, many of which hold dual nationality.

However, since President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement of annexing Panama, it has stood out as a focal point of huge strategic importance.

It is clear........
