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.

    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.

    Good luck with that. Hope Trump doesn’t send the navy.

        Panama’s leaders would be giant idiots if they didn’t have a “dead man’s switch” in place along those lines.

    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.
