  • US President-elect Donald Trump has the Panama Canal in his sights, blasting the "exorbitant prices and rates of passage" levied on US ships, and threatening to retake control of the US-built shipping route,

The article discusses the political implications surrounding the Panama Canal, focusing on former President Donald Trump's threats regarding the canal. Trump has suggested that the U.S. should take back control of the Panama Canal, citing security concerns and criticizing the 1977 Panama Canal Treaties which transferred control to Panama. His comments have stirred controversy, with critics arguing that such threats undermine international agreements and could destabilize relations with Panama and other nations. The article outlines the historical context of the canal's transfer, the strategic importance of the canal for global trade, and the potential economic and diplomatic repercussions of Trump's statements. It also touches on how these remarks fit into Trump's broader narrative of America First policies and his tendency to revisit past U.S. foreign policy decisions.
