Donald Trump threatens to try to take back the Panama Canal. Panama's president balks at the suggestion
Donald Trump suggested Sunday that his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the United States «foolishly» ceded to its Central American ally, contending that shippers are charged «ridiculous» fees to pass through the vital transportation channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Panama's conservative president Jose Raul Mulino, who was elected in May on a pro-business platform, roundly rejected that notion as an affront to his country's sovereignty.
The Republican president-elect's comment came during his first major rally since winning the White House on Nov. 5. He also basked in his return to power as a large audience of conservatives cheered along. It was a display of party unity at odds with a just-concluded budget fight on Capitol Hill, where some GOP lawmakers openly defied their leader's demands.
Addressing supporters at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest in Arizona, Trump pledged that his «dream team Cabinet» would deliver a booming economy, seal U.S. borders and quickly settle wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.
«I can proudly proclaim that the Golden Age of America is upon us,» Trump said. «There's a spirit that we have now that we didn't have just a short while ago.»
