Labrador, Newfoundland , Greenland has a poetic ring to it . Possibly the start of a great northern empire . Go Canada .
The Donroe Doctrine
- Thread starter Ron in Regina
- Start date
If The U.S. is below Canada, and Alaska is to the NW of Canada, & Trump is dead set on “acquiring” Greenland by whatever means (including militarily) necessary…to the NE of Canada, where does that leave the future state of Labrador, Newfoundland, & Greenland on your map?
Anyway, back to the Donroe Doctrine, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel rejected Trump's threat on social media, suggesting the U.S. had no moral authority to force a deal on Cuba.
"Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation. Nobody dictates what we do," Diaz-Canel said on X. "Cuba does not attack; it has been attacked by the U.S. for 66 years, and it does not threaten; it prepares, ready to defend the homeland to the last drop of blood."
The U.S. president did not elaborate on his suggested “deal,” but Trump's push on Cuba represents the latest escalation in his move to bring regional powers in line with the United States and underscores the seriousness of the administration's ambition to dominate the Western Hemisphere.

As for Greenland Newfoundland and Labrador are concerned , once Canada inevitably splits apart at the seams Newfoundland and the rest of the Maritime provinces will have to do some serious thinking .

reliesrelied on imported crude and fuel mainly provided by Venezuela, and Mexico in smaller volumes, purchased on the open market to keep its power generators and vehicles running.
As its operational refining capacity dwindled in recent years, Venezuela's supply of crude and fuel to Cuba has fallen. But the South American countryiswas still the largest provider with some 26,500 barrels per day exported last year, according to ship tracking data and internal documents of state-run PDVSA, which covered roughly 50% of Cuba's oil deficit.

Or Maine becomes significantly larger as it stretches into the Arctic. If Maine absorbed New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Newfoundland & Labrador, it would become a massive territory, growing from its current ~35,000 sq mi (90,600 km²) to over 220,000 square miles (approx. 570,000 km²), making it roughly the size of France or Texas, vastly larger than its current New England stature…& that’s without factoring in Greenland.

"This is our hemisphere, and as the president said after the operation to capture Maduro, you know, American dominance in our hemisphere will not be questioned ever again," Jeremy Lewin, senior U.S. official for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs, and religious freedom said, adding that the case of Venezuela "should make clear to the Cuban regime and every other despot around the world that you don't play games with President Trump."

The State Department said this week it would finally deliver $3 million of aid pledged to the Cuban people in the wake of Hurricane Melissa in October. The hurricane ravaged eastern Cuba, isolating communities, destroying homes and flooding cropland.
Cuba has questioned Washington's motives (almost like someone’s playing a game with Cuba?) for sending the aid 77 days after it was announced and more than two months after the storm`s passage, but said it would accept the contributions and ensure they were distributed to those affected by the hurricane.
Trump has vowed to stop oil and money from longtime backer Venezuela from reaching Cuba after the January 3 operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a measure that analysts say could be catastrophic for Cuba's alreadyailing fuel supply, electrical grid and economy…cat & mouse style?
Anyway, the aid would be channeled through Cuba's Catholic Church and closely monitored, said Jeremy Lewin, senior U.S. official for foreign assistance, humanitarian affairs, and religious freedom, adding that the U.S. would hold Cuba "accountable" if any aid was diverted.
Vice Foreign Minister Carlos de Cossio later decried Lewin's comments on X as "apocalyptic threats" and said Washington failed to comprehend support for the Cuban government.
Cuba's Foreign Ministry said in a statement late on Wednesday that the U.S. move to send the aid now was "opportunistic" and "political manipulation" disguised as a humanitarian gesture, but that it would assure its appropriate use regardless.

Cuba's collapsed economy, including widespread shortages of fuel (primarily from Venezuela until a few weeks ago), food and medicine (greatly complicated by the US embargo), has complicated recovery efforts following the storm in late October 2025.
