**President Trump's repeated rhetorical proposals for U.S. control over Greenland, the Strait of Hormuz, and other areas have generated headlines but produced no formal annexation steps through mid-August 2026.** Ongoing negotiations with Denmark and Greenland seek expanded military basing rights under existing agreements rather than sovereignty transfer, while Denmark and Greenland continue to reject any sale. Recent August statements labeling the Strait of Hormuz a potential U.S. territory occurred amid the Iran conflict but remain declarative without legislative or diplomatic follow-through. Constitutional requirements for congressional approval, treaty ratification, or war declarations, combined with NATO alliance risks and international opposition, have kept actual territorial acquisition off the immediate agenda. Traders assign the 93.4% "No" probability to the gap between statements and enforceable actions before year-end.
