Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.

He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.

    There was an offer to purchase Greenland during Trump’s first term that was dismissed by most Americans as “Art of the Deal” buffoonery, but I can’t find any reference to Panama or Canada delusions before the election. Please correct me if I’m wrong… I’m by no means attempting to “run interference” for the narcissist-in-chief and have been warning my fellow Americans since the PATRIOT Act that giving the executive branch sweeping new powers “because terrorism” would be abused within our lifetimes. PotUS is supposed to be administrator of federal employees, not a goddamn dictator.

      “Donald Trump, the current president of the United States since 2025, has proposed various plans and ideas in the lead-up to and since his second inauguration that would expand the United States’ political influence and territory”

      Where did you and the rest of the ignoramus’ in your country believe expansion would take place if not Mexican and Canadian borders?
