The Panama Canal was not the United States property to give. When the French gave up trying to build the canal, Theodore Roosevelt unsuccessfully tried to buy the property from Colombia (of which Panama at that time was a province). He arranged to have a few riflemen start a revolution of independence from Colombia. Roosevelt sent the US Navy to blockade the Colombian Navy from entering Panama. Within a week a French diplomat named Banau-Varilla and Secretary of State Hay created a treaty to lease from the Republic of Panama a 10 mile strip in the center of Panama in Perpetuity. Not a single Panamanian resident or member of the newly independent republic had any say or knowledge of the treaty. The US successfully completed the canal in 11 years and created one of the wonders of the world. In the 1950s through the 1970s the Panamanian people wanted more access through the canal zone which cut their country in two. Up until 1963 there was no way across the canal except by ferry. In 1963 the US Corp of engineers built the Thatcher Ferry Bridge (now called Puente de Las Americas) so Panamanians could drive from one side to the other. In 1964 there were riots in Panama, presumably started by students but no doubt communist instigators were behind these riots and several people were killed when US soldiers marched through the streets of Panama. After that the relations between the US and Panama became frayed. It was in the middle of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the US and the Canal Zone was one of the issues which allowed the Soviet Union to make significant inroads in Latin America. From World War II to the 1970s, the Canal and the Canal Zone lost its military significance but was still an economic consideration. The dictator Omar Torrijos, who was more of a populist than a Communist, was negotiating the possibility with the Soviet Union to build a new canal in the Western side of Panama, which, if successful, would have made the Panama Canal obsolete. Since the US was no longer concerned about the military value of the canal, Richard Nixon through his negotiator Ellsworth Bunker started negotiations to revert the canal zone back to Panama. As I said, the US only had a lease, but no ownership of the Canal Zone. Carter continued the negotiations and in 1977 made the Carter-Torrijos treaty to return the canal zone back to its owners. The US did get what it wanted. It got the exclusive right to defend the canal as it saw fit, assured the international neutrality of the canal to all countries, and the right of first refusal to build a new canal or expand the current canal. That treaty was the basis for allowing the US to enter Panama militarily to remove Noriega from Panama in 1989. It also ended the ability of the Soviet Union to use Panama as wedge issue for the charge of US colonialism. On December 31, 1999 final control of the Canal and its Zone reverted back to Panama. The bottom line was the US never owned the canal, and the treaty served US interests in maintaining the canal as an international economic icon. Panama has in the last 17 years demonstrated the ability to maintain and operate the Canal. It also successfully built the second series of locks to permit larger and heavier ships through the canal. They opened in 2016. (research credit to Joel Davids)
@@Joelogan75 Wrong! The U.S. military can defend the canal’s ability to remain open if taken over by hostile forces. They have to legal right to seize it.
Its not about sovereignty but President Trump was talking about the reasonable fee for American ships and strategic control of the canal. Lets hope that it doesn't fall in to the wrong hands.
The Panamanian govt is more corrupt than the U.S. govt and if ppl think the Panamanian govt is in control of the Canal they are sadly mistaken. The Chinese are in control of it. 🇵🇦 por siempre.
Have some backbone and selflove, if the US take it back Panama will be worst than Puerto Rico, the Canal was Just rebuilt and has many debdt to repay, you Panamanian should learn to live from your hardwork not seating around waiting to live off the Canal.
You should be ashamed both for being so ignorant and a coward. Financial Performance Revenue Growth: Since Panama took control of the canal in 1999, its revenue has grown significantly. By 2023, annual revenues exceeded $4 billion, compared to the limited revenues generated under U.S. administration. Efficiency: Panama’s administration has been praised for cost-effective operations and transparent financial management. Expansion and Modernization Canal Expansion Project: Panama completed a $5.25 billion expansion in 2016, adding a third set of locks to accommodate larger ships (New Panamax vessels). This has increased the canal's capacity and maintained its relevance in global trade. U.S. Administration’s Limited Investments: Under U.S. control, the canal saw far fewer upgrades, with infrastructure largely maintained rather than modernized. Operational Efficiency Reduced Transit Times: Panama has implemented advanced scheduling and operational practices, reducing average transit times for ships. Increased Traffic: The canal now handles over 14,000 transits annually, with larger ships and higher cargo volumes than during U.S. management. Environmental and Sustainability Efforts Water Conservation: Panama has implemented measures to conserve water in lock operations, an essential step given the canal's reliance on freshwater reservoirs. Environmental Policies: The canal authority has introduced environmentally friendly practices, including incentives for ships that meet energy-efficiency standards. Employment and Economic Contribution Job Creation: The canal under Panamanian administration directly and indirectly supports thousands of jobs in Panama, contributing significantly to the national economy. Economic Independence: Revenues from the canal have bolstered Panama's GDP and allowed the country to invest in infrastructure and public services. Transparency and Governance Panama Canal Authority (ACP): The ACP operates as an independent entity with strong oversight mechanisms, ensuring accountability and transparency. Contrast with U.S. Administration: Critics of the U.S. management period note a lack of such independence, with decision-making heavily influenced by geopolitical considerations. International Recognition Praise from Global Organizations: The Panama Canal Authority has received recognition from international trade and logistics organizations for its professionalism and operational excellence. Role in Global Trade: The canal handles approximately 6% of global maritime trade, cementing its status as a critical infrastructure asset.
@JacquelinePérez-m9g: Stop suckin' up. If the U.S. government gains control of the Panama Canal, the price of everything that goes through Panama will go up, because Trump will restart that sanction shit. Also, that sanction shit will not last forever because other nations will just stop using the Panama Canal and find another way to ship their goods. American politicians are dumb.
Right, I live in California and I can say most commodities are fairly cheap. What’s really killing us here is housing, education, and lately food prices. As far as most other goods, they are actually cheaper than when the US was in control of the canal. The greed of this guy and most republicans is out of control!!

The management of the canal is done through a Chinese company or the PRC. So there is a threat to the Western Trade in general and the US and its allies particularly. If the PRC invades the Republic of China, this would be a choke point to exploit. There is a LOT of room for negotiation, lets see what happens at the negotiating table.

Congress financed the building of canal with US taxpayer funds. The cost at the time was 375 million dollars (many billions in today's dollars). 40 million was given to the French company which started the project but gave up. 10 million was given to the country of Panama. 22,000 men perished while digging the canal mostly blacks and Chinese from the West Indies.
The canal operated at cost for most of it's history, and truthfully the prices are too high,, but no one is going to take the canal back. Panama just needs to stop ripping off their customers.
🛑 PALKI missed one very important fact, over 40 Chinese communist companies operates within the Panama Canal. It's not just about fees. There is a geopolitical power play between china and the US, and Panama govt sided with China since it is easily bribed and corrupt. Panama has breached its agreements with the US, the demands behind the treaties before. Panama has no standing army, and retaking it based on breach of contract is justifiable.
He doesn't he doesn't know what he doing he just talking just being serious stop following this man blindly he doesn't not care about the USA only reason he wanted to become president is to save himself from jail but MAGA cult members to blind to see that
Panama has population of 4,6 million almost 40 times of Grenada 130,000 which was invaded by the US decades ago. Conflict between US vs Panama military - could last for few days or few decades - no one can tell.
This video does not answer it's own question "Can Donald Trump Retake the Panama Canal?" There is nothing Trump can do about it unless he wants to pull off a Granada type assault.
Actually it's a good idea to take the canal back then spend a few billion to modernize the canal also people from Panama and the rest of the region gets employment and finally US shipping industry gets benefits out of it. Afterall more than 70% traffic through the canal is to and from US anyway.
We are a free country.Donald Trump should focus on the problems that his country has which are many.Instead of talking about things that will never happen.Panama canal belongs to us 🇵🇦
The 77/79 Panama Canal Treaties are illegal under both Panama and US International law because: A treaty between these 2 countries can only be made with the elected President of each country, and Omar Torrijos was a Dictator who was not legally elected but took the position of "General" by force. So, on that one point, the entire treaty is invalid. Even the Supreme Court in Panama states that the 77/79 Panama Canal Treaties are unconditional and invalid. So, if the US wants to take it back, they can 100% do that. Read CANAL GATE by Samuel Stoll for all the original documents and answers to every discussion and arguments on the American Panama Canal and Canal Zone. When you forward this video, please copy and paste the above accurate text with it.
Because it belongs to Panama? We don’t have healthcare for American citizens.

Trump could be the funniest President ever!
There's no doubt about that.
Panama needs some freedom🦅
🛑 PALKI missed one very important fact, over 40 Chinese communist companies operates within the Panama Canal. It's not just about fees. There is a geopolitical power play between china and the US, and Panama govt sided with China since it is easily bribed and corrupt. Panama has breached its agreements with the US, the demands behind the treaties before. Panama has no standing army, and retaking it based on breach of contract is justifiable.
Palki you have to understand trump he is really knows wat hes doing
for real bro 💯💯💯💯 palki just read this comment and she is said she will be changing here journalistic views.
He doesn't he doesn't know what he doing he just talking just being serious stop following this man blindly he doesn't not care about the USA only reason he wanted to become president is to save himself from jail but MAGA cult members to blind to see that
😂😂 Trump doesn't even know what he's talking!
Private companies docking boats have to pay a fee. Shocking.
😂😂😂😂😂Trump is Musk Puppet for sure!
Isn't the Dardarnell Strait and Bosphorus Strait quiet intetesting geographical locations.
A treaty and a gift are two different things. If Panama is violating the treaty the US could legally take it back.
Trump' needs ILEGALS out cause FEAR of violent retaliation in case United States uses violence against Latin America 😢
Relax there, Firstpost. Our media has problems with hyperbole, too. Price gouging is a problem there.
Panama has population of 4,6 million almost 40 times of Grenada 130,000 which was invaded by the US decades ago.
Conflict between US vs Panama military - could last for few days or few decades - no one can tell.
Don't be a fool Donald they will never want to give up there canal to you because they have it for a long time now
If they charged then what to do . Those who support to construct the cannsl ,should provide concessions
As long as Putin takes Ukraine land, Trump can also take Panama Canal.. These two are dictators 😅😅
This man speaks with power my friend 😂
Trump speaks with insanity and only fools believe a word out of his mouth. Shame on you.
Trump doesn't want Canada we'd flip it blue.
This video does not answer it's own question "Can Donald Trump Retake the Panama Canal?" There is nothing Trump can do about it unless he wants to pull off a Granada type assault.
There's literally a treaty that specifically states the US CAN do something about it...
Looking like trump will definitely hit hard India's trade
Hoping he will be in favour of India
Isn't India in BRICS? Nice company they keep.
Let's be clear America doesn't want this Donald does.
Having control over the Panama canal will not change anything in with thee port in Peru.
Yeah he's all tough talk like a true desk warrior
Well good luck getting it back america
Actually it's a good idea to take the canal back then spend a few billion to modernize the canal also people from Panama and the rest of the region gets employment and finally US shipping industry gets benefits out of it. Afterall more than 70% traffic through the canal is to and from US anyway.
Poor Panama. Trump will bring you democracy 😅. We are with you.💪🏼
Panama is a democracy.
Just make the fees low and keep the canal lol 😂. Stupid Panama president
We should definitely take the Panama Canal Back to Americans Hands
Europeans or Americans??
It's already in American hands (just that under a different Government 😂).
So, UK maybe can retake Virginia 😂
@bigzoe6639 America the bully is back. How can you take what doesn't belong to you?
@@anetteespinoza1139and India should take Uk this time
Is Panama a independence nation or a colony.Please someone help me out on this.
We are a free country.Donald Trump should focus on the problems that his country has which are many.Instead of talking about things that will never happen.Panama canal belongs to us 🇵🇦
Trump is no better than the Roman consul Marcus Licinius Crassus, military adventurism that leads to disaster.
If this is true the Panamanian govt is ungrateful
People that collects the iPhone 15 they gave to their ex girlfriend , are saying Trump can't demand for the Canal 😅😅😅😅😅
The draft dodger in chief is such a tough guy lol
Texas and California should be giveñ back to Mexico.
IT IS US BUILD THAT CANAL 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😱😱😱😱👍👍👍
The 77/79 Panama Canal Treaties are illegal under both Panama and US International law because:
A treaty between these 2 countries can only be made with the elected President of each country, and Omar Torrijos was a Dictator who was not legally elected but took the position of "General" by force.
So, on that one point, the entire treaty is invalid.
Even the Supreme Court in Panama states that the 77/79 Panama Canal Treaties are unconditional and invalid. So, if the US wants to take it back, they can 100% do that.
Read CANAL GATE by Samuel Stoll for all the original documents and answers to every discussion and arguments on the American Panama Canal and Canal Zone.
When you forward this video, please copy and paste the above accurate text with it.
The treaty was ratified by US congress. So it is legal in US.
I see no reason why America should not get the panama canal back 🔙
Because it belongs to Panama? We don’t have healthcare for American citizens. We don’t have housing for American citizens and Trump is going to blow up this shit to keep reminding people like you of how he’s stealing from you. Look at that shiny thing flying over oh my God Trump is so awesome. Sorry about your fetal alcohol syndrome
Panamas choice. Respect that. If not, then cry about it. US will never get it back. Unless u want conflict
USA is ready for conflict so don't worry kid you can go to sleep @luffyland4996
@luffyland4996 Remind me what’s the total population of Panama?😂
Conflict???
There really will be no conflicts
@@rickymayne2298 They still got a armed forces. US will face Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, type loss 😂 Underestimating is your doom. Seriously yall need to be realistic. US will never get Panama Canal back. Nor will they get Canada or Greenland
GET IT BACK TRUMP!!!
Make America Great Again! Oh! That is it is done, now! 😂😢😅
Panama canal belongs to all paises
The ocean is God's creation.
Getting Panama back has about the same chance as Native American getting North America back from pilgrims.
Maybe Russia will retake Alaska, or France retake Louisiana. Russia has retaken Crimea but it was at the request of the crimeans.
he is trying to compete with china,he is desperate 😂😂😂
Which PAC is campaining for this?
Hey reporter there is a treaty that goes with the canal Panama has violated that treaty many times do not be the LASTPOST to get it correct
Will any modern ship actually fit through that little ditch ?
Yes absolutely 💯
Do it
While I don't support Trump's politics. I think consideration should be given to US vessels given that they built the Canal after the French walked away
The US will get it back , I trust trump
Russia can cancel the Alaska sale and take it back at the sale price of $7.2M. Mexico would love to take California, New Mexico, and Texas back.
are the lot of you people saying this stupid crap all bots? or are yall just stupid?
Hell yeah he can take it
US has no ships?
the arrogant of USA
typical trump ' il thrown money at them ' theres always a bent politician around ' i hate to say this ' but money talks
Bad busines to US? So Rússia can retake Alaska?
