Donald Trump says he might demand Panama hand over canal
In an evening post on Truth Social, Trump also warned he would not let the canal fall into the «wrong hands,» and he seemed to warn of potential Chinese influence on the passage, writing the canal should not be managed by China.
The post was an exceedingly rare example of a U.S. leader saying he could push a sovereign country to hand over territory. It also underlines an expected shift in U.S. diplomacy under Trump, who has not historically shied away from threatening allies and using bellicose rhetoric when dealing with counterparts.
The United States largely built the canal and administrated territory surrounding the passage for decades. But the U.S. government fully handed control of the canal to Panama in 1999 after a period of joint administration.
«The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the U.S.,» Trump wrote in his Truth Social post.
