Daily Beast - There may be only one way for the president-elect to take the Panama Canal: war. Former U.S. ambassador to Panama John Feeley, who served under former President Barack Obama and incoming President Donald Trump, said that it would require a foreign war to retake the canal...
Trump floated the idea earlier this month of taking back the zone if Panama didn’t stop charging the U.S. “exorbitant” fees for the country’s ships crossing the waterway. He then went on to refer to it as the “United States Canal” after Panama’s president shot down Trump’s comments....
“I
want to clearly state that every square meter of the Panama Canal and
its adjoining zone is Panama’s and will remain so,” Panamanian President
José Raúl Mulino said. “The sovereignty and independence of our country
are not negotiable.”
