Analysts have presented astonishing statistics: every 13th country in the world has been in danger in one way or another due to a possible threat from the US leader. Approximately, D. Trump threatened every eleventh inhabitant of the Earth.

D. Trump lashes out with anger in all directions around the world. Threatening rhetoric or real actions have already been directed at countries on four continents: Africa, Asia, North and South America. Practically, he even threatened Denmark when expressing his wishes regarding Greenland’s territory.
Real strikes and the list of potential victims
Since starting his second presidential term, the United States has already struck 7 countries worldwide. The US military attacked targets in Iran and Iraq. Nigeria, Somalia, and Syria came under American fire. Venezuela and Yemen are also on the list of active operations.
However, against some countries, D. Trump has not yet taken real actions and limits himself to verbal threats and aggressive rhetoric.
The list of countries against which D. Trump does not rule out the use of force:
Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Oman.
Not all these cases are the same. In some, he threatens terrorists operating in the country, in others – the actions of unsatisfactory governments. Often, the US president simply refuses to rule out the possibility of an attack, which keeps the world hostage to tension.
The “madman theory”
Despite some of his statements being inadequate, experts call this D. Trump strategy the “madman theory.” According to it, the leader wants to remain unpredictable and believes in the power of fear and force. According to D. Trump, this forces opponents to comply.
Often his rhetoric crosses any diplomatic boundaries. AI-generated images published on social networks have repeatedly depicted other countries as new US states.
Analysts highlight five countries where the US may see its further expansion. D. Trump himself has repeatedly implied that he views these countries as possible additions to the United States: Canada, Cuba, Greenland, Panama (primarily the strategic canal), Venezuela.
Threatening other countries, D. Trump is often called a tyrant in the public space, but he himself recently stated that he does not mind being called a “tyrant-dictator.” According to him, such accusations do not bother him at all because “it’s better to be a brilliant dictator than a fool.”

Although this is not a threat, D. Trump also hinted that he could run for the post of Israeli prime minister, even though the current prime minister is a loyal US ally. The US president explained this by his unyielding popularity in Israel, where, according to him, he would easily become prime minister.
Moreover, D. Trump promised that from now on the White House will be guarded by a real “drone empire.” According to him, he will place “as many drones on the White House roof as you have never seen before.”
The latest target – Oman
It is obvious that D. Trump seeks control over the most important and profitable points on the planet. For example, he does not want anyone else to control strategic routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Because of reports about Iran and Oman negotiating joint toll collection from ships passing through the strait, which has been practically closed since the start of the US and Israel war against Iran, D. Trump threatened for the first time a longtime US ally – Oman.
“The strait will be open to everyone,” D. Trump said on Tuesday. “No one will control it. We will oversee it. But no one will control it. This is part of our negotiations.”
Besides Oman maintaining military and economic ties with the US for decades, this Persian Gulf state, with a population of 5.3 million, has acted as a mediator in the war and has itself faced attacks from Tehran.
“Oman will behave like everyone else. Or we will have to blow them up. They understand this. They will behave well,” threatened D. Trump.
The White House did not immediately clarify whether D. Trump made a mistake, and the Oman embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
