Panama.

[DGS49]

It is not at all difficult to imagine a chain of events in which the U.S. invokes some provision of the treaty by which the Canal was given to Panama, asserting a right to take over control.

Furthermore, it is not difficult to imagine the U.S. and Panama negotiating a peaceful reorganization of the Canal's management and finances that gives the U.S. more control at the same time as it invests money in resolving the long-term water problem - a problem that Panama lacks the resources to solve. (Alternatively, it is not difficult to imagine a proposal from China to finance and build the needed infrastructure improvements in exchange for "certain considerations" from Panama).

The Bottom Line is that The Donald sees this as an important measure to stabilize traffic through the Canal, which benefits not only the U.S. but almost everyone else at the same time.

No Democrat could even conceive of this initiative.

Where is problem when the US becomes owner of the Canal?

You be sure to let us know when that happens.

It always amazes me how you cultists try to spin Trump's insanity.

What are you talking about?

All I’m doing is asking questions, and observing how none of you seem to have the slightest idea what Trump is talking about, yet you defend it anyway.

thats about all you know how to do considering youre a stupid fucking twit that thinks he knows everything,,

 

[Rambunctious]

another fine example of Trump saying crazy shit and his followers defending it, and warping reality to match his nonsense.

You libs should really read the art of the deal...

After Trump's comments I guarantee you that Panama is making sure not to over charge American ships.... if Trump did what dems do and came right out asking for what you want you have no room when they say no....

What part of the “art” involves being a weirdo totally detached from reality.

They weren’t “overcharging” ships in the first place.

It’s like he’s fabricating problems to fix just for attention.

Our shipping companies have been complaining of overcharges for twenty years what the hell are you talking about???

Leftist shills know nothing without being told what to think. They are empty vessels.

Trump is tired of the US getting fucked over on fees for a significant commercial transportation facility that we built, bought and paid for. What's confusing you?

Population of Panama is 4.5MM. thats enough for a new state.

Prices go up routinely in everything. Especially now that they have to limit traffic.

It’s not overcharging to increase prices.

There aren't US shippers...

Explain how we are getting “fucked over”.

Overcharge means they charge our ships more than other nations... its probably been going on even longer than we know.... and allowing China to take over is a national security issue for America... that has to be stopped even if it takes force...
