WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is making headlines for his desire to acquire Greenland and control over the Panama Canal weeks before his presidential inauguration. As a result, legal sports betting odds are available for the first country that Trump will invade and the 51st state during his presidency.
The president-elect stated at Tuesday’s news conference that the Panama Canal and Greenland are necessary for economic security. Trump also said that he won’t rule out military or economic coercion in his pursuit to get control over these two locations.

Odds For The First Country Trump Will Invade
- Panama -1500
- Greenland +600
Panama is the heavy favorite to be invaded first at -1500 odds, while Greenland stands at enticing +600 odds. The Panama Canal is entirely owned and operated by Panama, but was opened and controlled by the United States from 1914-1977 until it was jointly operated and eventually given full control to Panama in 1999.
The American historical ties make it an understanding favorite at presidential betting sites, especially considering Greenland is a self-governing country under the Kingdom of Denmark. Still, Greenland has +400 odds to become the 51st state of the United States of America during Trump’s presidency.
Trump Eyeing Greenland, Has +400 Odds To Be 51st State
The main reasons why Trump wishes to acquire Greenland are national security, resources, and key shipping routes. Despite all this, betting odds say it’s more likely that current U.S. territories like Puerto Rico (+150), the U.S. Virgin Islands (+250), and Guam (+300) will become the next state.
Trump’s 51st State During Presidency
- Puerto Rico +150
- Us Virgin Islands +250
- Guam +300
- Greenland +400
- Canada +1000
- District Of Columbia +1400
- Israel +1600
- Mexico +2000
- Mar-a-lago +2000
- Ukraine +4000
Trump also expressed his desires to make Canada a state since the US spend “hundreds of billions” of dollars to protect the country while operating in a trade deficit. His threats to use economic force to get Canada as the 51st state make the +1000 Canada sports betting odds unlikely during his presidency.
