President Trump asserted that the U.S. may reclaim the Panama Canal, claiming it is currently managed by China to undermine American interests. Upon his return from a trip, he expressed firm intentions to counteract what he called a violation of agreements by Panama. Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Panama, urging local leaders to address Chinese influence over the canal or risk facing consequences from the U.S. Trump's rhetoric indicates potential economic or military action to regain control over the strategic waterway.
The U.S. will take back the Panama Canal or something very powerful is going to happen, Trump claimed after expressing concerns about China's influence on the canal.
Marco Rubio warned Panama's leaders to act against China's influence over the canal, threatening U.S. backlash if they fail to curb it.
