Trump Threatens to Seize Panama Canal: Country Fires Back with Defiant Response on Sovereignty

In a bold and controversial statement, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to retake control of the Panama Canal, accusing Panama of exploiting the United States with excessive fees.

The Panama Canal, a crucial waterway for global trade, has been under Panama’s control since 1999, but Trump’s rhetoric has reignited tensions.

Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino responded fiercely, asserting the nation’s sovereignty and rejecting any U.S. claims over the canal.

What does this mean for U.S.-Panama relations, and could it spark a major diplomatic showdown?
