Thank you very much and God bless you.

President Trump said, “They laugh at us because they think we’re stupid, but we’re not stupid anymore. So the Panama Canal is under discussion with them right now."

President Trump also said the United States needs Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, for “national security purposes.”

“People have been talking about it for a long time. You have approximately 45,000 people there,” President Trump said.

“They should give it up, because we need it for national security. That’s for the free world. I’m talking about protecting the free world.

<<>> Besides the 50 United States, what are the alternate political entities that are associated with the U.S.?

Besides the 50 states, several alternate political entities are associated with the United States. These entities have different levels of political autonomy, with some having their own constitutions and local governments, while others depend more heavily on U.S. federal oversight for governance and administration. The relationship between these territories and the U.S. varies, primarily defined by legal frameworks like the Insular Cases for territories and specific Compacts of Free Association for the associated states.

Territories:
The U.S. maintains jurisdiction over several territories, which are not part of any state.

These include:
Puerto Rico - Often referred to as a commonwealth, it has a unique status with significant internal self-governance but is under U.S. sovereignty.

Guam - An organized, unincorporated territory in the Pacific Ocean.

U.S. Virgin Islands - An organized, unincorporated territory in the Caribbean.

American Samoa - An unorganized, unincorporated territory in the South Pacific.

Northern Mariana Islands - An organized, unincorporated commonwealth in political union with the U.S.

Minor Outlying Islands - Various uninhabited islands scattered across the Pacific and Caribbean.

Freely Associated States:
These are sovereign nations in free association with the U.S., meaning they have entered into compacts that give the U.S. certain responsibilities, particularly in defense and economic assistance:

Federated States of Micronesia
Marshall Islands
Palau

Federal District:
Washington, D.C. - Not a state but a federal district where the nation’s capital is located. It has its own local government, but its residents have limited representation in Congress.

Hasn’t Panama broken the agreement with the US over the canal?
If so, the use of force could be justified.

We shouldn’t use force on Greenland. We should just buy them.
Offer the citizens $1 million each if Greenland vote to join the US. 57,000 citizens = $57 billion.

President Trump is just shooting spitballs at China to let them know we’re watching them.
