Summary
Russia warned Donald Trump against reclaiming control of the Panama Canal after Trump declared in his inauguration speech that the U.S. would “take it back,” citing overcharges on American ships and China’s influence.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama’s legal ownership and the canal’s neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.
Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino also rejected Trump’s threat, calling Panama’s control “non-negotiable.”
The Panama Canal, vital for U.S. trade, handles 40% of its container traffic, raising tensions over Trump’s provocative remarks.
You guys are absolutely delusional if you think that Putin is being serious about threatening Trump. Orange is his personal bitch, his best asset. They will obviously throw some bombs at eachother from time to time to make sure that the public is not aware of their actual relationship.

Russia’s foreign ministry … urging respect for international agreements.
I love the blatant hypocrisy in international politics. 😂
it’s not hypocrisy dude, it’s cover. see the fucking game.
Cover for what? All I have now is local US slave labor to replace Chinese imports. Curious about your predictions.
Must be a huge relief to Panama to have Trump’s boss tell him to cool it.

That message was direct from Putin to Trump. We’ll hear no more word of it.
god, this feels so painfully staged.
putin so would love it.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama’s legal ownership and the canal’s neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.
Oh, the fucking irony.
it’s not irony, it’s gaslighting. i hate everyone in this comment section except @greenknight23 right now
Russia. Seriously?
The only reason Trump is making a play for Greenland and the Canal is to give Vlad cover to take over Ukraine. It couldn’t possibly be any plainer if he got on stage and told you.
Well, I don’t think it’s specifically cover for Putin and Ukraine (only), however that’s a good way to do it. I think anything Trump does out loud is to cover for a long list of evil plans.
My main prediction is replacing foreign imports with local slave labor, initially staffed with arrested immigrants. That will be Trump‘s legacy.
Panama would allow the US to have control over trade. Strategically, it’s a good move. But, life doesn’t have to be a game of war.
Maybe we should also be thinking Russia-Ukraine in its entirety is a cover for something on a larger scale.
Isn’t Mexico considering a panama canal alternative of their own? If they can actually get it done then a Trump take over of the panama canal would probably just go badly for the US in the long run.
That would be absolutely hilarious. I hope they do it. However, I don’t think they can make that work—geographically.
Costa Rica might be able to.
It’s an agreed upon live testing ground for autonomous warfare. The next atomic deterrence
Oh that’s for sure.
Trolling.
See if I were Trump, which I’m not, but if I were an aspiring dictator with the world’s most powerful military at my command, I’d say “Putin says I can’t what?”
I, personally, would be like “lol, you can’t threaten me, you’re not even competition, where’s my money bitch” and provide weapons to Ukraine until he’s literally giving away Russians as slaves instead.
But, I’m not Trump. And Trump is too stupid to make this realization that he doesn’t need to respond to any demands made by papi, regardless of it being theater or real.
lol
lmao
and so forth
