Panama Canal is on the table through the wording of the 1977 agreement. But his only goal is to secure enough land for US purposes and no fees to carriers heading to US port. Some said US flagged vessels, but there aren’t that many of those. We will not take back the canal.
Canada is not feasible unless they desire or he truly went the tariff route which would be too painful for us.

The population of the entire Island is less than 50,000. Nobody wants to live there.
The main ice sheet averages 1 mile thick.
Trump is just fucking with Canada. He knows that 90% of Canada’s population lives within 100 miles of the US Border. And that population is just a few million more than California.
Canada has the same problem as Greenland. Most of it’s land mass is practically uninhabitable.
