Trump Threatens to Return Panama Canal to US Unless Panama Cuts Fees

US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to return the Panama Canal to US ownership unless Panamanian authorities regulate its "ridiculously" high fees.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said the Panama Canal is considered a vital national asset for the United States because of its critical role in the economy and national security. However, he called the high fees charged by Panama "ridiculous" and said this "rip-off" must stop.

"If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full, and without question," Trump added.

  1. Σε μια σπάνια τοποθέτηση για εκλεγμένο ηγέτη των ΗΠΑ, ο Ντόναλντ Τραμπ κατηγόρησε χθες Σάββατο την κυβέρνηση του Παναμά ότι χρεώνει υπέρογκα τέλη για τη χρήση της διώρυγας, προειδοποιώντας ακόμη και με ανάκτησή της.

    Και προειδοποίησε πως εάν δεν διαχειριστεί το κανάλι με αποδεκτό τρόπο, τότε θα απαιτήσει από τη χώρα-σύμμαχο να παραδώσει στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες τον έλεγχο της ζώνης.
