'We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned': Trump issues threat to local officials

Raw Story  

"We will demand that the Panama Canal be returned," Donald Trump declared over the weekend. Trump on Saturday took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to issue a threat to local Panama officials about the famous Panama Canal. A secure Panama Canal is crucial for U.S. Commerce, and rapid deployment of the Navy, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and drastically cuts shipping times to U.S. ports," Trump wrote, adding that "Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its building, and understood the strength of Naval Power and Trade." In a separate post, Trump said the U.S. "has a vested interest in the secure, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and that was always understood."
