Trump's obsession now reaches Afghanistan's Bagram Air Base: List of places US president wants to take over

Stating that he wants Canada to be the 51st state, Trump has said, "I think Canada would be much better off being the 51st State because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada. And I’m not going to let that happen."

Signing an executive order 14172 titled "Restoring Names That Honor American Greatness," Trump officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" and declared February 9 as "Gulf of America Day"

Expressing his desire to annex Greenland, Trump said “We need Greenland very badly...Greenland is a very small amount of people, which we’ll take care of, and we’ll cherish them, and all of that. But we need that for international security.” He even sent his Vice President JD Vance on a visit to Greenland after coming to power in January, drawing major criticism

Addressing the US troops at the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, Trump said, "We are going to keep Bagram Airbase, we are not going to give that up because its one hour away from China. You know who occupies it now, China," he added.

Demanding free transit for American commercial and military ships through the Panama and Suez canals, Trump claimed that China is operating the Panama Canal and the US is going to take it back.

Sharing an AI video, Trump suggested that he is planning to turn Gaza into a Gulf state-like resort - 'Riviera' - featuring a golden statue of himself.
