If you do not know, that is what Progs do every day to those who do not agree with them. Everything is an issue. Opposite sides it seems no matter what.

Do you have evidence they’re charging American ships more than others?

Just the shipping companies complaining about it.... but let me guess you need more and when I find it for you it won't be good enough or you will complain about where I got it... I'm not going to play that game with you anymore...

AGAIN, the shipping schedule FOR ALL PARTIES is publicly available. If they don't like it don't use it.
AGAIN THOSE SHIPPING COMPANIES ARE NOT US COMPANIES.

Asking for substantiation of claims is not a game. It’s how adults discuss topics.
I searched myself and found nothing to this claim.
Did you make it up?
What he is doing is smart. On the offensive instead of the magnanimous look while holding countless billions of dollars in a suitcase to give to the world while at home people are suffering.

With 70% of the business, we pay the same rate as someone with 1%.
Why the 'triggered' emoji? I'll bet that it was the tie-dyed speaker grilles. Like BL and purple hair.Dirty Hippie double entendre song qualifies for real country!

Paying the same rates as everyone else doesn’t seem unfair to me.
Giving some people special treatment wouldn’t seem very neutral.

Our current global political system is being challenged, and one focal point of that struggle can be found in Central America. There, the Panama Canal has become a piece in a larger geopolitical game.
For many years the canal has been of immense importance to international trade as well as to international security.
While the United States was once the guarantor of its security, China has now established a large presence in the region. This has been accomplished by using corporations as fronts for a civilian-led take-over of ports and harbors in the Canal Zone.
China’s current posture has ramifications for the security in and around the Canal, to the effect that China now has a strategic choke-hold on the US in the region.

A deep-seated loathing of durty hippies! Grawr!
I've been a hippie freak for over 50 years now. My hair is trimmed at my waist. Other than that, I can't really remember what to do, nor how "durty" I'm supposed to be. More is probably better. I use dirt on my guitar.A deep-seated loathing of durty hippies! Grawr!

You make statements that are idiotic. The PRC has been exerting their control over the Panama Canal and South America for sometime through their "Belt and Road Initiative".
Trump is right to push back on the gov't of Panama to be more independent rather than succumb to the "Belt and Road" diplomacy of the PRC.
China Doesn’t Own the Panama Canal, but Does Have a Lot of Control
China’s increasing control over the Panama Canal doesn’t make it an owner, but it’s still concerning for developed nations like the U.S.
