Let’s Talk… The President Floating The Idea of Taking over Canada, Greenland, and Now Gaza!

President Trump has been in office for only four weeks, and already he’s suggested taking control of three separate territories. Is this a wild speculation or something more serious? When you consider the global economy behind the scenes, it becomes clear he might not be joking. In short, there’s a fight for natural resources, and those who secure them – especially rare earth minerals – are most likely to succeed in the emerging economy.

China and Russia already control a large portion of these resources and can use them as leverage. Whether we like it or not, they’re adversaries and competitors on the global economic stage. Greenland makes sense as a target because it’s largely uninhabited and loaded with natural resources. Gaza has the Gaza gas fields (look them up), and Canada, while unlikely, is also rich in natural resources and rare earth minerals.

As one of my political science professors used to say, politics is fundamentally about the fight for natural resources. And as we’re seeing, that principle holds true on the global stage.
