Trump says he may try to regain control of the Panama Canal
DONALD TRUMP suggested on Sunday that his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the United States “foolishly” ceded to its central American ally.
The US president-elect argued that “ridiculous” fees are charged for ships to pass through the channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Panama’s right-wing President Jose Raul Mulino rejected that notion as an affront to his country’s sovereignty.
