Allies are assets, you idiots, a key pillar of American power.
There’s no possible negotiation aided by these threats that will yield more for the US than the good relationships do. And no possible military action, no matter how smooth, that would leave the US in a stronger international position.

Canadian politicians are all in a flutter about what to do.
Smith kissing trumps ass isn’t helping.
America's allies pre-2025: Europe, Canada, NATO, democratic nations across the globe
America's allies post 2025: Russia, authoritarian nations across the globe with the goal of the establishment of an American Empire.
Not kidding.
Last time Trump got in we were relatively lucky that things were calm until 2020. We're not that lucky now.
Probably so that the debt Trump owes to Russia won't be called in.
Hard to make a more obvious example of putting the leader's personal interests—corrupt enrichment for himself, personal aggrandizement, a show for his fans—above the national interest.
The US already has a base there!
It's part of NATO member Denmark, who sent combat forces to help the US in Afghanistan!
US companies have an inside track on mining deals!
There's nothing America could gain from Trump's bullying that'd yield more than the good relationship already does.
Long, peaceful border
Easy access to the Arctic
Direct assistance in response to 9/11
Trusted intelligence sharing
Mutually-enriching trade (unless you insist on misunderstanding what a "trade deficit" is)
The US gains so much from its alliance with Canada, way more than bullying could.

US commercial and military ships go through the Panama Canal when they want.
By treaty, the US military has the right to thwart any efforts to undermine that.
It's more economic for the US if Panama runs the canal.
The US has invaded Panama before, and it's much costlier than a partnership.
International allies are assets! I can't believe I have to say this, but I clearly do.
«German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said "the principle of the inviolability of borders applies to every country... no matter whether it's a very small one or a very powerful one".»
