Summary
Russia warned Donald Trump against reclaiming control of the Panama Canal after Trump declared in his inauguration speech that the U.S. would “take it back,” citing overcharges on American ships and China’s influence.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama’s legal ownership and the canal’s neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.
Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino also rejected Trump’s threat, calling Panama’s control “non-negotiable.”
The Panama Canal, vital for U.S. trade, handles 40% of its container traffic, raising tensions over Trump’s provocative remarks.
Must be a huge relief to Panama to have Trump’s boss tell him to cool it.
Putin is Trump’s bitch, not the opposite. The US coup’ed the USSR and imposed a fascist regime there. That way when they do fascist things you can sell more weapons.
That message was direct from Putin to Trump. We’ll hear no more word of it.
