Donald Trump Eyes Panama Canal Amid Concerns Over Control & Costs | WION Race To Power

[@Ned-r4t]

Trump is wrong about the Panama Canal! Thc Canal saves money compared to sailing around the Straits of Magellan. If i remember correctly when the Canal was returned to Panama the US retained the right to defend the canal if it restricted access to anyone!

At that time, the United States handed over the management of the Panama Canal to the Panamanian government based on the alliance relationship, and did not allow other countries to deploy around the canal in order to control the future military and economic strategic interests of the United States. But now the competitive forces of the United States have been invested in the deployment around the canal, which has seriously affected the strategic interests of the United States. I don’t know why all previous US presidents have not realized the seriousness of this matter, only Trump has realized it. I believe that most courageous Americans will agree with President Trump’s call. The United States can easily get it because the Panamanian regime is destroying the deal, which is a matter of course, so President Trump can always go down in history with eternally glory.

Dictator T said it best "We gave it away". Period.

[@9PB293]

Yes, you're right. If there is anytime to take the Canal back it would be now.

​@@alvinyong9370Save the complaining will you.

After getting the Panama Canal for free from DNC PRESIDENT Carter, they should be giving discounts to American shipping. This shows that no good deed goes unpunished.

[@svennielsen633]

Why? You have used it long enough to get all the benefits that you deserve. The US must pay for its services just like everyone else. Americans are shameful to think that the world cares what opinion you have about anything!

[@Ned-r4t]

There's virtually zero US flagged vessels anymore.

​@alvinyong9370 Sir, are you color blind? Look at what Trump is going to do to the CCP. If I was you I would take Trump more seriously this time.

[@alvinyong9370]

Canada, Europe and Latin America will be more open to China because of the 47th president.

It's called "Indian giving." They used to do this to Native Americans all the time, it works wonders. You give something to someone or make a deal and in a couple years you find an excuse to take it back or brake the deal, leaving them destitute. Indian Giving is nothing new to America.
