Panama did not give the land to the US ... Panama was part of Colombia and Colombia and The French negotiated the canal and when Panama was getting independency , the French went and sold the land in perpetuity to the US ..Panama fought hard to gain their sovereignty back! Lot of life's lost and let me tell you this ..if US government can send money to Israel and Ukraine they certainly can pay their own fees to cross the canal! So learn the right world history no the one they sell you with your bans book in the US!!!

I'm old enough to remember the controversy back in late 1970s concerning the canal. The elephant in the room has always been the security of the canal. The Panama Canal was absolutely vital to the US in WW2. The US was concerned about what might happen to canal given the politican instability of Panama. This is far more important than the financial aspects. We are very nervous about China being anywhere near to whole area. Of course the Chinese know this and that is precisely why they want to become involved in the area. It's the security stupid.

[@The_General_Zubas]

Exactly, we gave it away to our enemies, thinking that they would never try and stifle our trade.

[@LLQ423]

You're full of it. While regional political instability and national security are always a concern, the Panama Canal did go into Panamanian hands, and nothing bad happened to the US because of it. For any US president citing security concerns over it would be a valid argument but for convicted Trump to say he can take it back as if he or the US owned Panama or the rest of the world is nothing but ego and BS from an idiot in charge of the presidency

Why would the Panamanians changes their rates for traffic through the Canal? They have to cover their operational costs.

They need to recoup those cost. One would imagine that business people understand this. Asking them To change their rates is for all purposes almost as imposing sanctions on Panama.

[@stevebutler812]

While much of the Canal’s original legislation expired upon turnover of the Canal to Panama, one key treaty relevant to U.S. and Chinese influence in the Canal remains active with no expiration date. The Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, or the Neutrality Treaty, between Panama and the United States guarantees permanent neutrality of the Canal with fair access for all nations and nondiscriminatory tolls. Only Panama may operate the Canal or maintain military installations in Panamanian territory. The United States, however, reserved the right to exert military force in defense of the Panama Canal against any threat to its neutrality. Any interpreted Chinese threat to the Canal’s neutrality could activate the U.S. forces through this treaty, meaning current and future Chinese interventions should be calculated with this potential response in mind

[@LLQ423]

In such case the US would have to take retaliatory measures against China should the need arise but he can't not simply come out and threaten the sovereignty of an independent nation based on assumptions of what he think might end up happening in the future in another country.

The canal is operated by China via a Hong Kong firm. a flashpoint for U.S.-China competition over spheres of influence. China’s influence in the Panama Canal has only grown since 2017 when then-president Carlos Varela severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognized China, further opening the door to China’s expanded footprint in critical Canal infrastructure and laying the groundwork for alignment with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

[@blondie1850]

It should have never been given back. The United States government gave the $10 million offered to Colombia to the Panamanians as part of a new treaty. It also supplied a constitution to Panama that gave the American government the right to “intervene in any part of Panama, to reestablish public peace and constitutional order.”
