Aakhir Tak – In Depth

The Plan to Annex Canada

Donald Trump has announced an audacious plan to integrate Canada into the United States as its 51st state. In a press conference, Trump highlighted “economic force” rather than military action, arguing that a borderless union would enhance security and economic stability for both nations.
Canadian leaders, including former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, dismissed the idea, labeling it unrealistic and harmful to Canada’s sovereignty.

Acquiring Greenland and the Panama Canal

As part of a broader expansionist vision, Trump has proposed reclaiming control over the Panama Canal and purchasing Greenland. Both initiatives, he argues, are vital to American economic and military security. Panamanian officials firmly opposed the notion, emphasizing their sovereignty. Similarly, Denmark outright rejected any potential sale of Greenland, with its Prime Minister stating, “Greenland is not for sale.”

Renaming the Gulf of Mexico

Trump also announced his intention to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America.” According to Trump, this name better reflects American ownership and influence over the resource-rich waters.

Increasing NATO Defense Contributions

Trump reiterated his campaign pledge to demand NATO allies contribute 5% of their GDP to defense spending, a significant increase from the current 2%. He emphasized that fair contributions are necessary to ensure global security.
