Why doesn't Trump just build a new canal, and make Panama pay for it? Kinda like Mexica and The Wall. Just think. He can even build deportation camps there.
Camps not needed since there’ll be no hotels, benefits, jobs, schools or healthcare in America for the illegals. They’ll be moving to Mexico or Canada or going home at their own expense
@@liberalsrmentallyflawed3611 But Mexico did not pay for any part of The Wall. And Panama won't let anyone build a new canal, much less pay for it. So accomplish this, Trump will have to invade Panama, without causing a world war, which will increase canal construction expenses by a few trillion dollars.
The hostility from Panama and the talk of invasion are good things, because they will allow Panama to claim victory after giving back substantial control of the Canal in a way that does not involve an actual invasion or loss of sovereignty (though we should remember that the reason the US built the Canal was to allow US Navy ships easily to move between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans).
If America seizes the canal it will have assume the cost of operating the canal. Operating the canal will cost a fortune. The Panama Canal is owned by a Chinese Company, not the Chinese Government. China invests in countries, but their efforts benefit both parties. At the present time, what is happening diplomatically in the U.S. is embarassing. U.S.has trillion dollar interest payments on the Nation Debt. I still don't know where Biden got the billions of dollars he sent to the Ukraine.
Absolutely not true. Panama Canal is own and operated by Panama from 1999 onwards. Before that is was jointly operated by Panama and USA. There are ports in Panama that are operated by a company based in Hong-Kong, that won a bid to get the operating deal. Any company could have bidded to operate those ports. To underline I need to mention that these ports are not the canal - you can use the canal without using these ports and most do so.
Really dislike hearing anyone in Congress talk about our dominance around the world. As if that’s what we want you to focus on. Stop worrying about the rest of the world. Talk about the 50 states you were elected to be concerned about!
Yup. Germans used to talk about German exceptualism and dominating the world. Insecure extreme nationalist losers talk like that rather than just peacefully trading with rest of the world like other nations do.
It should be noted that US president Jimmy Carter was the signatory but on the Panama's side the signatory was only the commander of the Panamanian National Guard who is Gen. Torrijos and not the Panamanian president.

If the Chinese have military personnel there when the U.S turn up, then simply “invite” those individuals back to the U.S and ask if china would like them back.. but there will be a “hospitality bill” to be paid, of course.

If USA stop buying Chinese products and becomes the No.1 world producer then those 2 ports that the Chinese rent in Panama can be rented to the US. Panama had the canal since january 2000 and since there has build a 3rd set of locks to allow the post Panamax ships go thru. Before going back to Panamenians it was run by the US congress and we know how great our congress run things (runs them down to the ground)
Never going to happen. Americans cry about inflation even though everywhere in the world had inflation and america had the least. They will never stop buying from china because that would mean paying $10 for a hotdog instead of 8.
They were invited there in a way. They've been there over a decade. Can you say they receive none of the Use Fees in return for security? It appears pretty locked down as far as ownership.
President Trump should consider reestablishing U.S. military bases in Panama, similar to those from the past-Fort Clayton, Howard Air Force Base, Rodman Naval Base, Fort Davis, and others. The mission of these bases would be: 1. To prevent the passage of immigrants heading to the U.S. 2. To counteract Chinese influence and control of the Panama Canal. The Panamanian government could continue administering the Canal, while the U.S. focuses on security and support. This would be a win-win for everyone! President Trump could propose a referendum to the Panamanian people on this issue-I bet they’d be interested!
Panama is an independent country. Unless the US asks to place bases there what you advocate is an invasion of a sovereign country. Unless you are prepared to be called out as evil and sanctioned by the rest of the world, highly advise against it.
You generally don't threaten a country then get to have military bases in their countries. If I was Panama I would allow China to have military bases in Panama...
@ - Teammate, the Panama Canal Treaty explicitly prohibits the establishment of Chinese bases in Panama. I encourage you to review the treaty for clarification. Best regards.

I was in Panama several years ago before Covid. My wife and I stayed for about a month. I wanted to do some fishing and sightseeing. We rented a car and drove around the country. China definitely had a presence. Their buses were being used many of the shops were Chinese businesses . I commented on it back then. I’m kind of sensitive about china. I was put in a proposal that a friend put together who knew an American who married a girl from Kenya. My friend told me hey we won the contract in Kenya. Be ready in 2 months. A few days later I was told the contract was pulled because china offer to fund the work if Kenya hired a Chinese contractor to do the work. That’s the truth. China won’t invade a country they will make loans to them that they know might be difficult for them to pay back. Then they will negotiate this and that using the large loan as leverage. That’s how china controls most of the major sea ports in the world.
It's perfectly reasonable business negotiations, what questions do you have about that? Is this worse than the theft of oil by the US military in Syria?

Something really needs to be done about the two ports China now has at either end of the Panama Canal, so I think that tariffs are a good way to bring the CCP to the table. But at the same tome lets not forget that during the Carter administration when the Canal was returned to Panama to control there were things involved that most Americans might not be aware of. As I sit here in Panama city writing this comment as a United States citizen visiting I plan to look more deeply into the agreement between the U.S. and Panama concerning the Canal before going any further.
The ports are only two that are operated by a Hong Kong company. Not China. Second, both ports are on the Pacific side. Third there are other companies from other countries operating ports too. Third, over 95% of people employed at the ports are Panamanian. Fourth, there are no Chinese soldiers here operating anything. Americans are so gullible, you believe anything the media tells you. The treaty expired in 1999. Since then Panama is 100% sovereign, the US does not protect or maintain anything since 1999. Panama remains neutral.

The hostility from Panama and the talk of invasion are good things, because they will allow Panama to claim victory after giving back substantial control of the Canal in a way that does not involve an actual invasion or loss of sovereignty (though we should remember that the reason the US built the Canal was to allow US Navy ships easily to move between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans).

If America seizes the canal it will have assume the cost of operating the canal. Operating the canal will cost a fortune. The Panama Canal is owned by a Chinese Company, not the Chinese Government. China invests in countries, but their efforts benefit both parties. At the present time, what is happening diplomatically in the U.S. is embarassing. U.S.has trillion dollar interest payments on the Nation Debt. I still don't know where Biden got the billions of dollars he sent to the Ukraine.
Absolutely not true. Panama Canal is own and operated by Panama from 1999 onwards. Before that is was jointly operated by Panama and USA.
There are ports in Panama that are operated by a company based in Hong-Kong, that won a bid to get the operating deal. Any company could have bidded to operate those ports. To underline I need to mention that these ports are not the canal - you can use the canal without using these ports and most do so.
Really dislike hearing anyone in Congress talk about our dominance around the world. As if that’s what we want you to focus on. Stop worrying about the rest of the world. Talk about the 50 states you were elected to be concerned about!
Yup. Germans used to talk about German exceptualism and dominating the world. Insecure extreme nationalist losers talk like that rather than just peacefully trading with rest of the world like other nations do.
FOLLOW YOUR HEART DONNIE. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It should be noted that US president Jimmy Carter was the signatory but on the Panama's side the signatory was only the commander of the Panamanian National Guard who is Gen. Torrijos and not the Panamanian president.

The U.S is giving these countries Billions of dollars, we need to get something back
Bring back our jobs and start making things we use to make in America when I was young everything was made in America
Lower your hourly wage to 5$/hr, no overtime or benefits and you will have all those jobs back. Lol
Then your generation gave it all up and started blaming the newer generation for your generations faults.
@kellyn7280 that is not going to happen all they have to do is lower the pay at the top why should we pay a CEO of a company 10 million dollars know body in worth that kind of money
It’s never going to happen. Why would a manufacturer owner want to start up so they can pay high wages, retirement fund matching, insurance, and most likely the employees will want to be a union shop or else they will get screwd over by its employer.
@@johnbrandon8890 YOU DO REALIZE THAT ALL THE TRUMP FACTORIES ARE OVERSEAS..
If the Chinese have military personnel there when the U.S turn up, then simply “invite” those individuals back to the U.S and ask if china would like them back.. but there will be a “hospitality bill” to be paid, of course.
So you just want to screw over all Americans in China?
1st Marine Division would do the trick.
How are they doing in a IRAQ ? How they do in Afghanistan?
And Vietnam.
Or how CIA inserts agents to destabilize countries, have coups and install illegitimate puppet presidents, like in Ukraine?
do what trick? drink energy drinks and waste money on a base because they are too afraid to do anything? marines first in the base, last to leave, cowardice house wives
That is actually a legitimate military use of force taking back Panama Canal, not giving Ukraine weapons.
If USA stop buying Chinese products and becomes the No.1 world producer then those 2 ports that the Chinese rent in Panama can be rented to the US. Panama had the canal since january 2000 and since there has build a 3rd set of locks to allow the post Panamax ships go thru. Before going back to Panamenians it was run by the US congress and we know how great our congress run things (runs them down to the ground)
Never going to happen. Americans cry about inflation even though everywhere in the world had inflation and america had the least. They will never stop buying from china because that would mean paying $10 for a hotdog instead of 8.
Not going to happen. Manufacturing was outsourced years ago.
You have no idea how your life would change overnight if the USA stopped doing business with china. China is weaved into everything we do.

President Trump should consider reestablishing U.S. military bases in Panama, similar to those from the past-Fort Clayton, Howard Air Force Base, Rodman Naval Base, Fort Davis, and others. The mission of these bases would be:
1. To prevent the passage of immigrants heading to the U.S.
2. To counteract Chinese influence and control of the Panama Canal.
The Panamanian government could continue administering the Canal, while the U.S. focuses on security and support. This would be a win-win for everyone! President Trump could propose a referendum to the Panamanian people on this issue-I bet they’d be interested!
Panama is an independent country. Unless the US asks to place bases there what you advocate is an invasion of a sovereign country. Unless you are prepared to be called out as evil and sanctioned by the rest of the world, highly advise against it.
Allow Panama to control its canal.
You generally don't threaten a country then get to have military bases in their countries.
If I was Panama I would allow China to have military bases in Panama...
@ - Teammate, the Panama Canal Treaty explicitly prohibits the establishment of Chinese bases in Panama. I encourage you to review the treaty for clarification. Best regards.
@@gerardo2172 The treaty does not even mention China nor does China have military bases in Panana. What you advocate is evil.
the locks in the canal need fresh water to push the ships through , the days of heavy rain in panama are long gone
Ah. One sane person who knows it's a water problem and not a China problem. Congratulations 😂
If it's a canal connecting two saltwater bodies of water why do they need fresh water? Just let the fresh water lakes in between become saltwater

because it is leverage rather than a reality. The hope is that he doesn't actually have to put tariffs on China to the tune of 100% or do the same with CA and ME. He says "You can have huge tariffs, or do this" and then the hope is that they do the other thing. Such is the art of the deal it would seem

A "Jarl" was a title given to a chieftain who ruled over a specific territory within a larger kingdom, essentially making them the leader of that territory; so, a territory within a country could indeed have a Jarl as its ruler, particularly in Scandinavian contexts where the title originated.

As a Panamanian, I think the canal is run better now under Panama management
Don't believe the US paid for the canal for nothing. They needed it to assert their military influence in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
AS A PANAMANIAN I THINK THE CANAL WAS MUCH BETTER ADMINISTRATED UNDER THE US ADMINISTRATION FOR MANY REASONS
You are not Panamanian
@MrMorristhecatp of course Iam why would I lie to you?
I took think your not Panamanian. Basically no Panamanian would say this.

I was in Panama several years ago before Covid. My wife and I stayed for about a month. I wanted to do some fishing and sightseeing. We rented a car and drove around the country. China definitely had a presence. Their buses were being used many of the shops were Chinese businesses . I commented on it back then. I’m kind of sensitive about china. I was put in a proposal that a friend put together who knew an American who married a girl from Kenya. My friend told me hey we won the contract in Kenya. Be ready in 2 months. A few days later I was told the contract was pulled because china offer to fund the work if Kenya hired a Chinese contractor to do the work. That’s the truth. China won’t invade a country they will make loans to them that they know might be difficult for them to pay back. Then they will negotiate this and that using the large loan as leverage. That’s how china controls most of the major sea ports in the world.
world bank has the biggest loan
It's perfectly reasonable business negotiations, what questions do you have about that? Is this worse than the theft of oil by the US military in Syria?
What did China do wrong? Besides wanting to be its own country
We are human brothers and sisters nobody is enemy
As the US expanded from the east coast to the west coast Native Americans were killed, treaties were broken, and they were moved to reservations on the poorest lands. The reservations have some of the highest poverty rates. Some reservations have opened gambling casinos as their main industry. A large number of the Navajo (largest reservation ) live without electricity or running water.
I say allow Trump to worry about that problem. And quit just 2nd guessing what will happen. Nothing we can do about it. That’s Team Trumps decision.

Heck yes ..I want my money in my check ..I'll never get those and doñt care about paying for them honestly ..imma bout me not some old dried up geezer
If Trump wants fairness in taxes than (FLAT TAX IS THE ONLY ANSWER) start with 10 percent on gross income personal and BUSINESS ... it's simple and fair !!!!! Any other formula is a win loose and open for corruption and loop holes !!!!!
Or a national sales tax / VAT. Income tax is unfair. Over 50% don't pay any federal income tax. Consumption tax?
The only time trump paid tax was when he was Pres. & couldn't hide all the money he made from people sucking up to him. Now he's gonna give himself another bigly tax cut. DOGE will make sure Joe Average will get less & pay more or go without.
You would have many businesses that do not even have a 10 percent profit margin. They have supplies and wages to pay.

lol, sounds like a confusion-ism
Trump is losing and China is the winner? 🤔
What is that way of thinking? Trump was just fixing what demented sleepy Joe could not fix.
Something really needs to be done about the two ports China now has at either end of the Panama Canal, so I think that tariffs are a good way to bring the CCP to the table. But at the same tome lets not forget that during the Carter administration when the Canal was returned to Panama to control there were things involved that most Americans might not be aware of. As I sit here in Panama city writing this comment as a United States citizen visiting I plan to look more deeply into the agreement between the U.S. and Panama concerning the Canal before going any further.
The ports are only two that are operated by a Hong Kong company. Not China. Second, both ports are on the Pacific side. Third there are other companies from other countries operating ports too. Third, over 95% of people employed at the ports are Panamanian. Fourth, there are no Chinese soldiers here operating anything. Americans are so gullible, you believe anything the media tells you.
The treaty expired in 1999. Since then Panama is 100% sovereign, the US does not protect or maintain anything since 1999. Panama remains neutral.
