Since his victory in the United States presidential election in November 2024, Donald Trump has multiplied provocative territorial claims, drawing international attention with annexationist proposals, including the integration of Canada into the United States, the acquisition of Greenland, and the reclaiming of control over the Panama Canal. These statements echo certain ambitions expressed during his first term from 2017 to 2021, when he frequently framed US geopolitical strategy in terms of economic dominance, military strength, and a revival of US expansionism. While such rhetoric may have been dismissed as political posturing, it raises fundamental questions about the resurgence of imperialist discourse in contemporary US foreign policy.
