Why is Trump threatening to take over the Panama Canal?

Al Jazeera  

The Panama government has controlled the canal since 1999. “We’re being ripped off at the Panama Canal like we’re being ripped off everywhere else,” he said at the Arizona event, adding that the US “foolishly gave it away”. Following AmericaFest, Trump posted a picture on his Truth Social platform of the US flag flying over a narrow water body with the caption: “Welcome to the United States Canal!” After Trump’s statement, he and Panamanian President Mulino traded barbs. “Every square metre of the Panama Canal and the surrounding area belongs to Panama and will continue belonging,” Mulino said in a recorded statement published on his X account. “The issue of climate change as it relates to the water supply for the Panama Canal is a misconception,” said Jean-Paul Rodrigue, Professor, Department of Maritime Business Administration, Texas A&M University-Galveston.
