As usual, the media misinforms the public by misrepresenting and interpreting Trump's statements, so that it turns out that he is some kind of imperialist who would conquer other people's territories.
The Panama Canal was built by the Americans and handed over to Panama by agreement. According to the agreement, American ships were supposed to have the right of way and pay a lower fee. Panama forgot about it after several decades. Trump reminds them that they will have to stick to the agreement.
In addition, the Panama Canal is one of the three most important channels for the passage of trade ships, and it would be extremely important in the event of a major international conflict, e.g. with China. Journalists would obviously rather it fall into the hands of China than our ally the USA, which built it.
Greenland is important because of the source of raw materials, scientific research and because of its military position. Denmark (which owns it) itself admits that it will not be able to maintain military bases in Greenland without the USA. Selling Greenland to the US, apart from hurting the feelings of journalists, would harm absolutely no one - considering that Greenland is more of a burden than a benefit to the Danes. I don't see why it would be such a scandal.
