Blatant imperialism: Trump vows to 'expand' US territory, threatens BRICS, hints at military force
Geopolitical Economy Report - A podcast by Ben Norton

At his inauguration, US President Donald Trump promised to "expand our territory", invoked the colonialist "Manifest Destiny", and vowed to forcibly take over the Panama Canal (falsely claiming China runs it). He later threatened BRICS with 100% tariffs. Trump has hinted at use of military force to colonize Greenland as well. Ben Norton reports on Trump's foreign policy.
