Trump Threatens to Reclaim Panama Canal Over Overcharging, Citing Monroe Doctrine
Dec 21, 2024, 11:46 PM
President Donald Trump has announced intentions to potentially reclaim control of the Panama Canal if Panama does not cease what he describes as overcharging U.S. ships. In a series of statements, Trump emphasized that he views the current management of the canal as a 'complete ripoff' and has threatened to demand its return to U.S. ownership. This announcement aligns with his broader approach to foreign policy, reminiscent of the Monroe Doctrine. The remarks were made in the context of ongoing discussions about international trade and U.S. interests in the region.
