Trump's repeated threats to seize the Panama Canal likely stem from personal business interests, reflecting a pattern of outlandish claims disconnected from reality.
Nichols emphasized the historical context of the Panama Canal's governance, highlighting that it is governed by a Senate ratified treaty, not a simple gift.
When discussing Trump's rhetoric, Nichols pointed out that many of Trump's assertions about reclaiming the canal lack any grounding in legal or practical reality, reiterating past patterns.
The relationship between the U.S. and Panama regarding the canal is complex, and Trump's demands are unlikely to bear any fruit given existing treaties.
