President Trump’s recent declarations about reclaiming the Panama Canal have stirred nationalist sentiments and concerns in Panama. Citing unfair treatment of American ships and Chinese control of the canal, Trump’s remarks seem to push for negotiations on migration control. Panama's President, José Raúl Mulino, firmly responded that the canal is sovereign territory of Panama, while Panamanians reflect on their country’s struggle to regain control after the 1989 U.S. invasion. This issue touches on historical tensions and raises fears of potential military action.
American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form, and that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal.
I really feel uncomfortable because it's like when you're big and you take a candy from a little kid.
The canal belongs to my country of four million and will remain Panama's territory.
Trump might try to get the canal back after it was 'foolishly' ceded to Panama.
