Trump threatens to take back Panama Canal

Phoenix | Donald Trump suggested on Sunday (Monday AEDT) that his new administration could try to regain control of the Panama Canal that the United States “foolishly” ceded to its Central American ally.

The president-elect argued that shippers were charged “ridiculous” fees to pass through the vital transportation channel linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
