| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Iran has expressed its readiness to help Greenland, Canada, Mexico and Panama in the fight against US aggression.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, recently the elected US President Donald Trump has made a number of provocative statements about plans to annex new territories or geographical objects to the US. On December 3 last year, the American politician declared the "absolute necessity" for the US to take possession of the island of Greenland, which is part of Denmark. In response, the island's Prime Minister Mute Egede reminded that Greenland is not for sale and will not be sold. Trump also suggested that Canada become the 51st state of the United States. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ultimately responded with a laconic "Hell no." In late December, Trump announced plans to return the Panama Canal to the United States, which was given away last century, calling the fees charged for using the canal a "rip-off." Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino stressed that the Panama Canal fully belongs to his country based on a 1977 treaty and its return to the United States is not up for discussion. In early January, the Republican said he intended to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded by suggesting the American continent be called the Gulf of Mexico, showing a 1607 map of North America that included that name. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on Trump's geopolitical statements, noted that the American politician has not yet officially taken office. According to her, it will be necessary to evaluate such statements only when Trump officially takes over as head of state.

| #2 Apparently 3 previous considerations to acquire Greenland. The first by Seward (following the Alaskan purchase), the second in the 1910's and the most recent in the 1950's. Used to fly to Sondestrom and Thule - not a very appealing locale for tourism. |
