Trump threatens U.S. control of Panama Canal

Trump threatens U.S. control over Panama Canal, accusing Panama of unfair rates; Panama’s president rebuffs claims, insists on independence.

Published

President-elect Donald Trump has made statements regarding the Panama Canal, asserting that the U.S. may need to reclaim control due to high fees charged by Panama.

During a rally in Arizona, Trump expressed concerns over potential Chinese influence and labelled the current charges as excessive.

He signalled that the canal should not fall into “the wrong hands,” referencing both Panama and China.

It is important to note that China does not directly control the canal; however, a subsidiary of CK Hutchison Holdings manages two significant ports at its entrances.

Trump’s comments followed a similar message posted on Truth Social the previous evening.

High fees

The president-elect referred to fees at the canal as “ridiculous” and “highly unfair,” suggesting that if Panama fails to adhere to previously established agreements, the U.S. would demand the canal’s return.

Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino responded, asserting that Panama’s independence and sovereignty are non-negotiable.

He countered Trump’s accusations by defending the channel’s fee structures, stating they are not arbitrary.
