Donald Trump has demanded that the Panama Canal be given back to the US if Panama did not manage the waterway in a fashion that was acceptable to him – and he accused the central American country of charging excessive rates for use of the ocean-connecting ship passage.
“The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama by the US,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late Saturday, a little more than a month before the start of his second US presidency. “This complete ‘rip-off’ of our Country will immediately stop….”
Mexico is just as pissed at Guatemalan and Venezuelan migrants as the USA, is not more so.
Remember that Mexico has had such a booming economy that net-migrants are emigrating (leaving US) and returning to Mexico for ~the last decade or so.
That’s what’s so stupid about Trump’s plan vs Biden plan. Biden was working on building Mexico’s southern border to help stop migrants, helping both of our countries. Trump on the other hand is too stupid to figure out this simple solution.
You could have just left it at this.
