Trump's Controversial Stance on Regaining Control of the Panama Canal

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • President-elect Donald J. Trump hinted at the possibility of using military force to reclaim the Panama Canal, returned to Panamanian control decades ago.
  • Trump previously accused Panama of allowing Chinese soldiers to exert control over the canal and claimed they charge the U.S. "exorbitant prices" for shipping.
  • He warned that if these prices are not lowered, he will demand complete control of the canal upon taking office.
  • This renewed interest aligns with long-held objections by some Republicans regarding the decades-old treaty that relinquished U.S. control of the canal.
  • The article discusses the implications of Trump's stance and raises questions about ownership, Panama's response, and China's involvement.
