“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!”
England called. They want the colonies back.

"Because tariffs!"
 
All the Panamanian govt. has to do is say no to his demand. Trump can kick and scream and throw a temper tantrum all he wants, but they are under no obligation to cede control just because he wants them to.

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.

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.

“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the US,” Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop.”

The US is the canal’s biggest customer, responsible for about three quarters of the cargo transiting through each year. A prolonged drought, however, has hampered the the canal’s ability to move ships between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. National Economic Council Director Lael Brainard said last week that the resulting disruptions contributed to the supply-chain pressures that have boosted inflation.

The Panama Canal Authority said Friday that the canal contributed $2.47 billion to Panama’s treasury in fiscal 2024, the second consecutive annual decline.



 
France should be pissed that we just gave away the canal.
 
Trump never said it that way. It's media spin but why don't lefties think America first is a good thing? Should we cringe before crooked little dope fueled regimes like Panama?

Bingo
