Summary
The Panama Canal will remain under Panamanian control and open to all nations, according to its administrator.
Claims by Donald Trump that the US should take control or that China controls the canal’s operations were rejected.
The canal’s administrator emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality and uniform fees for all ships, as part of the canal’s role in global commerce.
The US doesn’t own the Panama canal? I thought that was the whole shit behind speak softly but carry a big stick thing? Guess I need to do some wikipedia-ing.
Sounds like somebody needs some 'Merica style freedom /s
I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that this is Trump’s MO.
He says some crazy shit. Then whatever the shit is, people react and have to spend time and energy refuting. Meanwhile Trump goes on to say other stupid shit. Without a fucking care in the world.
THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO BE A POLITICIAN!!
The fact that half of our country voted for this shows you the kind of people they are.
He’s not even president yet and it’s already fucking tiring.
You’re right, but also have been proven wrong. This is politics, and apparently the most effective version at that is lying and saying things that more people than we would think believe… and vote for.
A man, a plan, a canal, Panama

Not true, Dimitri Martin wrote a better one:
Dammit I’m mad. Evil is a deed as I live. God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt. To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss. Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help? Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell. I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”. Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp, In my halo of a mired rum tin. I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin. Is evil in a clam? In a trap? No. It is open. On it I was stuck. Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web. Be still if I fill its ebb. Ew, a spider… eh? We sleep. Oh no! Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position. Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name. Both, one… my names are in it. Murder? I’m a fool. A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash, A Goddam level I lived at. On mail let it in. I’m it. Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet! A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name. Name not one bottle minus an ode by me: “Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog” Evil is a deed as I live. Dammit I’m mad.
Good luck with that. Hope Trump doesn’t send the navy.
They could just destroy the canal in stsd of letting us have it tbh
Panama’s leaders would be giant idiots if they didn’t have a “dead man’s switch” in place along those lines.
