During his inaugural address on Monday, President Donald Trump made claims that Panama has violated treaty agreements related to the operations of the Panama Canal. Trump alleged that American ships are being overcharged and treated unfairly, including the United States Navy.
Trump specifically pointed out that China is allegedly involved in the operations of the Panama Canal, which he stated was not part of the original agreement. He emphasized that the United States had given control of the canal to Panama and now intends to take it back.
