President Donald Trump recently made important announcements about American foreign policy. He talked about taking Venezuelan oil. He also said the US will focus more on Greenland. These ideas show a more active role for America in the world. Other countries have reacted strongly to these statements.
The US government wants to put more pressure on Venezuela. They will keep or sell Venezuelan oil that was taken. This is part of a plan to weaken Venezuela's economy. The US says this oil money helps bad activities. They hope taking the oil will make President Maduro leave. Venezuela calls these actions "piracy." They say the US is trying to cause problems.
At the same time, President Trump wants to focus on Greenland. He said Greenland is important for "national protection." A special representative has been named for this. Denmark is not happy about this decision. The Danish government has asked the US ambassador for an explanation. Trump believes Greenland's location is very important. He is worried about other countries' ships in the area. However, Greenland's leader said the island can decide its own future.
President Trump also plans to build new battleships for the US Navy. These ships will be part of a "Golden Fleet." Building the first ships will start soon. These new ships will make the US Navy stronger. The goal is to build more ships and have a bigger reach. This shows a big investment in naval power.
