Summary
Donald Trump criticized Panama Canal fees as “ridiculous” and demanded lower costs or the canal’s return to the US.
In a Truth Social post, Trump also expressed concern about potential Chinese influence over the waterway, despite no direct Chinese control of canal operations.
The canal, transferred to Panama in 1999, is vital for global trade, handling 5% of maritime traffic.
Trump’s comments follow record revenues of $5 billion announced by the Panama Canal Authority. Panama has not yet responded to his statements.

When he’s the President of the United States, yes we will. Unfortunately.
We were so fucking close to never having to hear about this piece of shit ever again.
Not all of us are American, I for one would love to block all news from the US; It’s extra salt in the wound that this was posted on WORLD news.
This one may not be that important, but I would like to remind you that unfortunately the bullshit 'murica does does affect the rest of us.
The UK criticized US presidents mental health as ridiculous and demanded to increase the IQ requirements or the USA return to the UK
Watch them increase pricing out of spite.
