Summary
Donald Trump criticized Panama Canal fees as “ridiculous” and demanded lower costs or the canal’s return to the US.
In a Truth Social post, Trump also expressed concern about potential Chinese influence over the waterway, despite no direct Chinese control of canal operations.
The canal, transferred to Panama in 1999, is vital for global trade, handling 5% of maritime traffic.
Trump’s comments follow record revenues of $5 billion announced by the Panama Canal Authority. Panama has not yet responded to his statements.
The next 4 years are gonna be a blast. Thanks America!
The trauma of 2016-2020 was still raw, but you guys really love sequels!
I am personally sorry and I don’t know how to fix it. :’-(
Get armed, take a safety class, and be ready with your weapons and first aid supplies. Get some wound vacs and learn how to use them, you could save someone’s life.
If you really want to help fix it, join or start a local mutual aid group. This is where I stall out. I work and travel so much I need my days off to make my back not hurt so much and reset my brain.

Hohoho, you think it’ll only be 4?
I appreciate their optimism.
4 years eh? Didn’t he already signal that he wanted to kill the term limit??
Good luck getting enough support to change the Constitution on that
As if the constitution matters to these people…
Exactly it’s just a piece of paper if it’s not actually enforced it means nothing.
Just like all the laws and regulations that are regularly broken and ignored by the rich and have no enforcement.
The law doesn’t mean anything anymore if you have enough money and power. And when the law and justice system fail the citizenry it’s the citizens job to take the law into their own hands.
