Who owns the Panama Canal and what does Donald Trump want with it? - Donald Trump has some concerns about the canal
The article from MSN discusses the Panama Canal's ownership and recent political interest from former U.S. President Donald Trump. The Panama Canal, a critical maritime route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was completed in 1914 by the United States, which controlled it until 1999 when it was handed over to Panama under the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. Today, the canal is managed by the Panama Canal Authority (ACP), an autonomous Panamanian government agency. The article highlights Trump's interest in the canal, mentioning his comments during a rally where he suggested that the U.S. should have retained control over it, citing its strategic importance. Trump's remarks have reignited discussions about the canal's geopolitical significance, its economic impact, and the implications of foreign control over such a vital trade artery. However, there are no concrete plans or actions from Trump or his associates to alter the current ownership or management of the canal.
