President-elect Donald Trump vowed to take back control of the Panama Canal, accusing Panama of charging too much in fees. He warned that if Panama didn’t follow moral and legal standards, the US would demand the canal’s return “quickly and without question.” Trump made these statements at the AmericaFest event, following a similar post on Truth Social.
