Panama Canal

Trump Nominates Ambassador Amid Panama Canal Row

Trump has repeatedly threatened to reassert US control over the canal, citing concerns about China's growing influence in the region. However, these claims have been met with rejection by the government of Panama, led by President José Raúl Mulino. The Panamanian government has maintained the sovereignty of the canal, and has accused Trump of attempting to undermine this sovereignty.
