Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security.
Speaking to reporters less than two weeks before he takes office on Jan. 20 and as a delegation of aides and advisers that includes his son Donald Trump Jr. is in Greenland, Trump left open the use of the American military to secure both territories.
"I'm not going to commit to that," he said, when asked if he would rule out the use of the military. "It might be that you'll have to do something. The Panama Canal is vital to our country." He added, "We need Greenland for national security purposes." Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO.

This is a distraction. What else happened today that they don't want the news focusing on??
It's all distraction. He just wants his name in the news. Le Pen dying is hogging headlines, President Musk is making waves in Europe, you've got Trudeau's resignation, a Ukranian ace shooting down cruise missiles, and none of it has Trump's name on it.
Edit: Oh, the one Trump story is that Jack Smith may release his findings. So maybe that's it.
Or that Trump’s judge friend just blocked the release of the findings… with what jurisdiction is beyond me.
Cannon said she was acting "to preserve the status quo" whatever the hell that means.
It means she wants to be Trump's next SC appointment.
Damn. Had me going for a second. I forgot that Le Pen is a family of French nazis. Not an individual
I should be more specific. Jean-Marie Le Pen died.
It's probably easier if we start by listing all the things that aren't happening today.
Yeah 100%

Merely the act of reading this gave me a freedom boner
That brought back bad memories. I remember in his first term everything he said or did was a "distraction" according to reddit.
The appointment of fascists to the FBI and conspiracy theorists to government health jobs.
