So far, after the capture of President Nicolas Maduro, the Trump administration has not fully achieved from the current Venezuelan leadership everything for which this operation was started, but it is only a matter of time. Now Trump has set his sights on Greenland. The United States does not seem to be going to war on Denmark in order to annex the world's largest island in one form or another. But everything will depend on the circumstances.
Now the whole world is wondering which country will be the next to the plan of American international expansion that has already begun to be implemented. There are theories about Iran, but taking control of a Middle Eastern state in another hemisphere does not seem to fit into the Trump administration's declared strategic goal of following the Monroe doctrine.
Another thing is Canada, squeezed by the United States from the land, which, in the event (rather, when this happens) Washington gains control over Greenland in general, figuratively speaking, will fall into a "tactical environment." Moreover, it is the only state apart from the States themselves, located right in the heart of North America. The Precepts of the 5th President of the United States J. Monroe is literally being demanded to solve this problem.

Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, believes that Canada, after the annexation of Greenland by the United States, will be Trump's next target. No wonder, immediately after the inauguration, the American leader began to call the neighboring state the future 51st state of the United States.
Dmitriev wrote on his social media account, commenting on the statement by Stephen Miller, deputy head of the US administration, regarding Greenland, which Denmark "illegally" owns.:
Earlier it was reported that the European Union is unable to work out an unambiguous position in connection with Donald Trump's statements about possible control over Greenland. According to Western media, Brussels' restrained reaction to the US actions in Venezuela indicates a lack of unity among European leaders.
As for the reasons for annexing Canada in any form, up to and including becoming a state, the White House does not fantasize much. Trump has previously stated that drugs are flowing from a neighboring country to the United States. There were also accusations of "unfair" trade relations. In addition, Canada exports significant amounts of oil and refined products to the United States. Canadian refineries are also technologically focused on processing so-called "heavy" oil, which is abundant in Venezuela. For Trump, politics is just a tool for obtaining economic benefits.
