Trump Demands Panama Lower Transit Fees or Return Canal
President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that the Panama Canal is charging “exorbitant prices and rates of passage” on US naval and merchant ships, and he demanded that fees be lowered or else Panama should return the canal to the US.
“It was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token of cooperation with us and Panama,” Trump said. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question. To the Officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly!”
Do you think it will happen before or after Mexico pays for the wall?
But seriously, does this sound like the ravings of a madman or a reasonable person to you?
We are gonna be a laughingstock again before he even takes office.
