Trump Proposes Exclusive Control of Panama Canal, Criticizes China and Current Management
Dec 21, 2024, 11:29 PM
President Trump has announced intentions to potentially reclaim exclusive control of the Panama Canal during his upcoming term. He criticized the current management of the canal, labeling it a 'complete ripoff' and asserting that Panama must cease its practices that he claims disadvantage the United States. Trump referenced historical context, suggesting a return to the Monroe Doctrine, which could signify a shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding the canal. His comments reflect a broader critique of China's involvement in the region, which he attributed to decisions made during previous administrations.
