当地时间1月7日,美国候任总统特朗普在佛罗里达州海湖庄园举行的新闻发布会上表示,出于对美国“经济安全需要”考虑,他不会排除通过“军事或经济胁迫”手段夺取巴拿马运河和格陵兰岛控制权的可能性。在新闻发布会上,特朗普再提吞并加拿大,表示对使用“经济力量”收购加拿大持开放态度,还称将在不久后把墨西哥湾改名为“美国湾”。
特朗普近期多次威胁要“收回”巴拿马运河,并声称美国拥有和控制格陵兰岛“是绝对必要的”。这些言论背后,特朗普究竟有何目的?CGTN长文为您详细梳理。

Appointing an ambassador would typically focus on diplomacy, fostering cooperation and facilitating dialogue. It is rare, if not unprecedented, for a president to link an ambassadorial appointment to public threats or remarks about purchasing territories.
In announcing his nominee for ambassador to Denmark on December 22, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump stirred controversy when he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, "For the purpose of National Security and Freedom throughout the world, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."
Trump's call for buying Greenland from Denmark came one day after the incoming 47th U.S. president said the Panama Canal is considered "a vital national asset" for the United States and threatened to reclaim it. This followed his suggestion that Canada become the 51st state of the United States. He doubled down on these calls in his Christmas message.
Then on Tuesday, Trump ramped up his threats. In his first press conference after his election win was officially certified by U.S. Congress, Trump said he would not dismiss using "military force or economic coercion" to seize control of the Panama Canal or Greenland as an option when asked whether he would rule out such a possibility.

Trump's long-standing territorial designs on Greenland
Last December, hours after Trump expressed his desire for the U.S. to own Greenland, Denmark's autonomous territory with a high degree of self-governance, the Danish government announced plans to increase defense spending on the island to strengthen its presence in the Arctic region. Copenhagen is responsible for the foreign affairs, defense and security of Greenland.
"We have not invested enough in the Arctic for many years; now we are planning a stronger presence," Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in announcing a package that includes purchasing new patrol ships, drones, and upgrading a civilian airport to accommodate F-35 fighter jets.
Greenland's Prime Minister Mute Egede has already rejected Trump's designs on the resource-rich island.
"We are not for sale and will never be for sale," Egede declared in a written statement to Danish broadcaster DR. "Greenland is ours. We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom."
Trump's plan to buy Greenland isn't a novel idea. He first floated the idea back in 2019 during his first term, when Trump reportedly consulted with his advisors multiple times about the feasibility of acquiring the world's largest island, viewing it largely as "a big real estate deal."
In August 2019, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen dismissed the idea as "absurd" and "not something that is seriously meant," leading Trump to cancel a scheduled state visit in early September to Denmark, a close U.S. ally and a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
In analyzing Trump's interest in Greenland, experts suggest that as global warming causes glaciers to melt, Greenland's usable land will increase, leading to heightened commercial and naval rivalry among major powers in the Arctic. Furthermore, Greenland is rich in rare earth minerals, which are crucial for advancing clean technology. It is also said to be home to the northernmost U.S. Air Force base.
Marc Jacobsen, an expert in Arctic security and diplomacy at the Royal Danish Defence College, told the Daily Express newspaper that Trump's concept of buying Greenland in his first term was received as "a neocolonial provocation," and his long-standing interest in the island stems from Washington's "historic interest in focusing on geo-strategic location and mineral wealth."
Trump is not the first U.S. president to consider purchasing Greenland. The idea was first proposed by President Andrew Johnson in 1867. In 1946, the Harry Truman administration, which saw Greenland as a strategic asset against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, offered to exchange parts of Alaska for Greenland and later offered $100 million in gold to buy the island, both of which were rejected.

Trump's threats at Panama Canal
While keeping a watchful eye on Greenland in the north, Trump also harbored ambitions for the U.S. to reclaim the ownership of the Panama Canal in the south.
In a Truth Social post on December 21, the U.S. president-elect threatened to retake the vital international maritime trade route connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, citing "exorbitant prices and rates of passage" on U.S. Navy and commercial vessels transiting the canal.
He accused Panama of treating the U.S. "in a very unfair and injudicious way" and said, "This complete 'rip-off' of our country will immediately stop."
Trump's remarks were met with strong rejection from Panama and the wider region.
Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino stressed that "every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent area belong to Panama and will continue belonging to Panama." Mulino also defended the toll-setting process of the Panama Canal as public, open and not subject to the whims of any individual, rejecting the idea of reducing tolls for U.S. ships.
In a statement, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People's Trade Treaty, a regional bloc, slammed Trump's comments as "an act of aggression" against Panama's sovereignty and warned that such remarks represent a threat not only to Panama but to the broader Latin American and Caribbean region.
On December 31, 2024, Panama celebrated the 25th anniversary of the handover of the Panama Canal, which had been under the control of the United States for nearly a century. Under the Torrijos-Carter Treaties signed by Panama's General Omar Torrijos and then U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1977, the canal was returned to Panamanian control as of December 31, 1999.
In 2011, during an interview with U.S. media, Trump said that the U.S. decision to return the Panama Canal was "stupid." He was declared persona non grata by the Panama City Council.
Bluffing or bullying?
Analysts suggest that Trump's threats to purchase Greenland and reclaim the Panama Canal are maneuvers to pressure other countries during negotiations. However, they argue his remarks could damage U.S. credibility and undermine the international order.
Ben Cardin, chair of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Trump's claim of retaking the Panama Canal has affected Washington's credibility on the global stage. "Our allies don't know whether we are reliable partners or not," Cardin said.
While there are historical precedents for U.S. territorial expansion, such as purchasing Alaska from Russia in 1867 and Louisiana from France in 1803, it is widely believed that there are no feasible means for Trump to reclaim control of the Panama Canal or purchase Greenland under the current international system.
Jones Cooper, a professor at the University of Panama, said Panama is the rightful owner of the Panama Canal, and the idea of the U.S. reclaiming the canal is legally baseless and utterly absurd, according to China Media Group.
Darrell West, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told Xinhua: "Trump has raised a lot of issues that are not likely to go anywhere, such as Greenland joining America and the U.S. taking control of the Panama Canal." "There is little support for those ideas in the international community or in the locales themselves," West said.
In an interview with Newsweek, Sean Adams, an American history expert at the University of Florida, said Trump's proposals were "a throwback to the 19th century" of American imperialism.
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota, made a stern warning in a comment to British daily The Guardian about the dangers of the series of Trump's threats. "It's about chaos. It's about unpredictability," said Jacobs.

大盘虽然周四五都有异动,但本人还是坚持观点,3400不可能靠大力出奇迹的站稳,3400的站稳一定是反复上下震荡之后。目前不过第一次突破3400,依旧需要震荡,而不是直接拉升。此外,下周有小时间窗口,和3140的上涨无关,但是3297的向上走势结构,将发生变盘,配合这30分钟图上的压力,和5分钟图上的结构足矣判断。 -
数字江恩今天 09:46:01
30分钟图来看,目前大盘面临两个30分钟级别的阻力位置。其一,是前高3418所对应的白色箱体压力,这里哪怕略为突破,短线也只是震荡;其二,是图上的3509-3494蓝色轮峰线压力,这条压力线,下周暂时难以逾越。【更多独家重磅股市观点请点击】 -

看5分钟图,只看3297上来的走势结构,那么在3341做第一轮的白色平行线。大盘在白色平行线之上,还可以小幅拉高,而只要衰竭到白色平行线之下,这个冲高便算告一段落了。目前大盘指数距离白色平行线距离很远,所以下周初可以有大幅震荡。【更多独家重磅股市观点请点击】 -

大盘本周和上周成交量持平,属于3140反弹至3300-3386区间震荡后的缩量周K小阳线。本周大盘继续以10周线为支撑,这条线也将是未来大盘重要支撑。 -

3、跷跷板行情一直都处于跷跷板的模式,只有强弱的问题,月线级别向上,后期每个板块都能轮动得到,今天大涨的都是权重类的,白酒、券商、消费。但是持续性暂时先别想,没有还没有明确的持续性,继续保持多头情绪,持有的品种别乱动就行,不涨就踏实呆着。短线的话就看自己了,可以按照冰点逻辑搞短线。 -

2、今天涨了能买吗?这是今天大涨之后有同学问的,当然短线无所谓,只要你的个股回落到冰点,并且有资金那就可以干。但对于波段和长线来说,这里涨到哪里都没有位置,只有持有的份。任何级别的上涨都不应该谈论买的事,而是考虑如何卖的事。而任何级别的下跌都应该考虑如何买的事,而不是卖的事。这是咱们这帮人利用缠论交易体系,最起码的交易逻辑。想谈买入波段和长线的同学等待吧,有仓位的继续持有吧。
