Dusty Johnson Introduces Panama Canal Repurchase Act Allowing Trump to Acquire Canal for $1 and Bring It Under U.S. Control
Jan 8, 2025, 10:46 PM
House Republican Representative Dusty Johnson is set to introduce the 'Panama Canal Repurchase Act,' which would authorize President-elect Donald Trump to negotiate the reacquisition of the Panama Canal from the Republic of Panama for a symbolic amount of $1. The proposed legislation aims to bring the canal back under U.S. control, a move that aligns with Trump's recent calls for such an acquisition. The bill is expected to be introduced on the House floor shortly after Trump's inauguration. Johnson's initiative reflects a broader Republican strategy to reassert American influence in the region, particularly in light of concerns over Chinese expansion. The introduction of this bill has garnered attention as it seeks to fulfill Trump's longstanding interest in the canal.
