President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to reassert U.S. control over the Panama Canal, accusing Panama of charging excessive rates for the vital passage connecting the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Speaking to supporters in Arizona on Sunday, Trump warned against the canal falling into "the wrong hands."
In response, Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino dismissed Trump’s remarks, stating in a video posted to X: "Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent areas belongs to Panama and will continue belonging to Panama."
