Probably some crazy conflation that north equals oil since Alaska and Canada have decent oil reserves. Or fascist expansionism like the Nazis, which explains the talk of Mexico, Panama, and even Canada.
Honestly too lazy/depressed/exhausted of… All of this to Google it and find a source, but I remember something about the northern Waters being a new potential shipping route or something militarily important in the coming years due to climate change making them more navigable than before. Specifically it was talking about what the northern limits of Canada are, and how before it was sort of vaguely defined because no one considered the land up there worth anything, but with the ice melting the us and Canada were gaining interest in them. This was before 2016, so I’m probably remembering something (or everything) wrong.
Anyway, if that’s the case, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama… Could be the old Nazi playbook and Trump/maga/the evil empire just trying to secure all naval routes around north america because they know a war is coming, because they’re planning on starting an expansionist war.

Yeah, I was actually wondering if it was some fan service to his nutjob base, like maybe they think Thule is there…

Or he wants to go finish melting the rest of the ice faster
I was thinking oil or precious metals.
