THIS is the moment Donald Trump threatens to make Canada the 51st US state and refuses to rule out invasions of Greenland and the Panama Canal. The Republican, who is two weeks away from clinching the keys to the White House, has begun outlining an aggressive foreign policy - upsetting US allies.

Upon being asked at a press conference whether he could assure the world he would not use military or economic coercion as he tries to gain control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, Trump said: "No, I can't assure you on either of those two. "But I can say this, we need them for economic security.".

Trump also criticized American spending on Canadian goods and military support for Canada, claiming the US has no benefits from contributing. He also called the border between the two countries an "artificially drawn line.". The President-elect further suggested he would impose tariffs on Denmark if the country resists his offer to buy Greenland which, in his eyes, is vital to US national security.
But Denmark's Prime Minister has slammed Trump's comments, making it clear that Greenland, a self-governing part of its kingdom, is not for sale. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned: "I don't think it's a good way forward to fight each other with financial means when we are close allies and partners.".

On Tuesday Trump Jr landed in Greenland, sparking fresh rumours that his president-elect dad is serious about snapping up the icy island. According to Greenland's foreign affairs department, this is an unofficial visit set to last just a few hours, with no formal meetings planned.
