President Trump is reportedly moving forward with plans to retake the Panama Canal.
According to officials who spoke with NBC News, Trump asked military leaders to “draw up options” for a plan that would either see the U.S. partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces or potentially taking the canal back by force.
Thirty-eight thousand workers died building the Panama Canal. They died of malaria. They died of snake bites and mosquitoes. Not a nice place to work.
It was given away by the Carter administration for $1, but that agreement has been violated very severely. We didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.
