Representative Dusty Johnson, a Republican from South Dakota, has introduced the Panama Canal Repurchase Act of 2025, which would authorize President-elect Donald Trump to negotiate the reacquisition of the Panama Canal from Panama for the symbolic amount of $1. The bill, co-sponsored by 15 other House Republicans, aims to address concerns about China's growing influence around the canal.
