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.

        Taking a quick glance at your comment section, looks like you’re a zionist who likes to spout off about “anti semitism” on the left.

        Your boos mean nothing, we’ve seen what makes you cheer.
