Toward Trump-Lands

President Trump has put the world on alert as he's threatened countries across the globe with possible U.S. military action. They include Canada, Greenland/Denmark and South American States.

The big picture: Following the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, President Trump has suggested multiple Latin American countries might be next, citing the so-called Donroe Doctrine, a play on the Monroe Doctrine. At various points in his presidency, he's also threatened Greenland, Canada and EVEN Syria LOL. What they're saying: "President Trump's first instinct is always diplomacy," said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly in a statement to Axios, adding: "The President always has a host of options at his disposal, and all of his actions have put America First while making the entire world safer. Here are the countries Trump has threatened and why. Venezuela The U.S. capture of Maduro was only the beginning of its impact on Venezuela. The Trump administration has begun planning to directly control Venezuelan oil sales and revenue. The U.S. is broadly looking to control oil production in the country. Trump said Tuesday night that the U.S. would receive as many as 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil from Venezuela, which is worth about $2.5 billion.
