Professor Sean Adams, an expert in American history at the University of Florida, stated that Trump’s plans are reminiscent of the ideologies held by Democrats two centuries ago, notably those of Andrew Jackson, a president highly revered by Trump.
He mentioned acquiring Greenland brings to mind the 19th-century era of U.S. territorial expansion, when many American politicians – especially Democrats – pursued an assertive expansion agenda,
He notes that this policy was known as ‘spread-eagleism’ and was an ideology aimed at expanding US-style governance globally, as the US purchased territories in Mexico, Alaska and attempted to annex the Dominican Republic, as well as Greenland and Iceland.
The notion was that the Republican government was America’s gift to the world, and it was essential to extend its influence as far as possible. The economic opportunities that arose from expansion were also an attractive benefit.
Adams labels the Jackson-inspired imperialism “a significant divergence” from the existing ruling order.
Daniel Immerwahr, a professor at Northwestern and an expert in American imperialism, notes that while Trump’s plans depart from the current model, they may not resemble traditional colonialism.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider the hundreds of US military bases overseas as a kind of empire…However, Trump appears more at ease with an older style of power projection, reminiscent of Teddy Roosevelt’s era of brutal expansion.
As the countries liberalized their immigration policies, immigrants were allowed to flow over the U.S. border.

These actions, as mentioned by Trump, would commence on the very first day of his presidency.
He declared that Mexican and Canadian tariffs would apply to ‘ALL products entering the United States, and our utterly futile Open Borders.’

US President Trump heightened his exchange of criticism with the governments of both Panama and Canada.
, who are operating the Panama Canal in violation of the law (where we lost 38,000 people in its construction 110 years ago), make sure the United States pours billions of dollars into “repair” funds, yet remain silent on all other issues, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.
Become twice the size, and they would be militarily safeguarded like no other nation anywhere in the world.
Similarly, to the people of Greenland who are in need of the United States’ presence for national security purposes, and who wish the U.S. to be there, and we will!

To discuss Trump’s tariff threats.
The US President expressed interest in purchasing Greenland during his initial presidential tenure.
He was officially rejected by Danish authorities, who reaffirmed that the island was “open for business, not for sale.”
The Danish Prime Minister’s Office stated that the government is “looking forward to welcoming the new American ambassador” and “looks forward to working with the new administration.”
“Transatlantic cooperation is crucial in a complex security political situation, such as the one we are currently facing. Although we declined to comment on Greenland, we did say that it is not available for sale but is open to cooperation.”
The US president-elect expressed renewed interest in Greenland for the second time, building on prior statements made over the weekend regarding the potential for the US to take control of the Panama Canal if measures aren’t taken to alleviate the escalating costs associated with using the waterway, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Trump fired back with a tweet, ‘We’ll see about that!’
