Don't forget the possible loss of trade and lives should untrained captains try to move boats in areas so hard to navigate you need years of learning to get it right. What is the US going to do? Invade the country and enslave the engineers and workers of the Canal? You know. Like Russia or China would do.
Trump said Panama charging exorbitant prices to american how about the tariffs increase from 25% even 100% every goods enter to US and the final consumers who pay for it?
But that doesn't mean you can invade a country cause you feel you have the right after helping. It's been more than 100 years since that. It is like doing the same as Putin in Ukraine.
I guess Trump can take all the construction materials that went into construction of Panama Canal but they can not take the land cause land belongs to Panama, a sovereign country.
Well they already are the majority in land ownership & politics in New Mexico & west Texas not counting the vast amount land owned by native tribes. If they want it back, I’m sure they’ll probably have by the end of the 2040’s when they’re 2/3 of the majority population in the US.
They can not take it back. Are you crazy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and even hispanic american would not even want to give back to mexico. They love america.😂😂😂😂😂@Gallus7631
As someone who worked in the shipping industry for over 20 years I can emphatically say the US is NOT being ripped off by Panama. First, there are very, very, very few US registered vessels and the ones that are still in service carry USA-AID cargoes that do not route their route through the canal. SECOND, while some goods destined to the US do go through the Canal most goods come from Asia and Europe AGAIN, not passing through the Canal. And finally it is the shipping lines that pay the tariff not the government of the receiving country. The tariffs are figured into the freight charges. Oh BTW, it was under Trump's watch that freight charges started to skyrocket and he stood idly by and did nothing.
The point is that moron trump should not govern by tweeting threats. He needs to put in some serious footwork and have his people working with Panama. He acts like he can just snap his fingers and all will work out.
@@bieituns Trump just got publicly humiliated. Musk pulled his leash, Trump barked, and Congress obeyed.

A Chinese company has "a de facto monopoly over the porting industry around" the Panama canal. China has taken control of many ports around the world which is very dangerous to the free world.
They need to abide by the agreement or have it taken away. This was built by the USA at our own expense, something Panama would have been absolutely unable to build it on their own. It's been an incredible economic boom for Panama, and they are just taking advantage of us at this point
It wasn't built at US expense actually. The most harrowing and expensive work was done by the failed French attempt. The US basically took over a half finished project then took full credit. Moreover they mistreated the local Panamanian population and abused them to the point even today the Canal Zone is a hated topic in history.
@lee01390 America hasn't been a capitalist country in decades. You can't call a country capitalist when the government has such extensive regulations and restrictions, and takes such a huge amount of wealth, prints so much money, and chooses winners and losers through government control. There is the concept of an agreement in capitalism. Supply and demand is not the USA giving away the canal. So I don't know what you're even talking about
@@ac6418 it actually was. The French failed at building it, as you even admitted. The USA spent $375 million dollars building it, roughly 11 billion in today's money.

Not that I'm advocating repossession of the canal.... but you think we would lose money by controlling it????? Lol have you heard of the Panama canal before man??
@@stevekalgren1059 Actually we would lose money, at least in terms of "gaining" control over it. And if taken by force, the people of Panama likely wouldn't be all that helpful in terms of working the Canal. And that's assuming there isn't any kind of sabotage. So we would have to send a lot of people, a lot of tech, a lot of training, and a lot of repairs. And prolly just like the last time we finished the Canal, people will like fall to diseases.
Good if they are doing stuff they shouldn't be doing with the canal, we should demand it back. If they are charing extortion fees, we should demand it back. The treaty clearly has the wording for such a move. Why should we pay excessive fees? I am sure we still subsidies the canal
The treaty never said they will be favorable for any party, it said the canal will be Neutral also USA is not exempted or subsidies of anything since in 1999 they give the 100% control of The Canal to Panama if they maintain the Neutral condition of The Canal increasing the fee for everyone don’t break it, Trump just think that China is having some benefit but reality is that they also need to pay the increased fee
Ahora si pues como dicen en Panamá 🇵🇦 cuando no es una cosa es la otra. To get one man “Noriega”out they killed 500 plus innocent civilians, the Panamanian people have endured enough.French build up the Suez Canal, and they are not trying to ask for it back.
Does he want the original canal or the expanded one?! 😅.. the expanded and magnanimous canal was paid and built by panama, and these larger and expanded locks are the ones that currently allow the biggest vessels in the world to transit through the canal.
