Trump threatens sovereignty of Panama, Greenland, Canada

Jan. 7 (UPI) -- President-elect Donald Trump threatened the sovereignty of Panama, Greenland and Canada during a wide-ranging and often rambling press conference on Tuesday, prompting staunch opposition from the three U.S. allies.

The former and incoming American president spoke for more than an hour from his Florida Mar-a-Lago golf club resort in Palm Beach on Tuesday, a day after Congress certified his November election victory. During the press conference, he reiterated threats for the United States to reclaim Panama's famed canal, take control of Denmark's Greenland and annex Canada.
