What was Panama's response to Trump's comments about the Panama Canal?
Following Trump's controversial statements that sent shockwaves around the world, the President of Panama responded with an unequivocal stance on the canal's ownership. The Panamanian leader firmly insisted that every square meter of the Panama Canal is Panamanian territory, emphasizing that control over this strategic waterway by any foreign entity is completely non-negotiable. This resolute response underscores Panama's determination to maintain sovereignty over the canal, which was fully transferred to Panama from the United States through the implementation of the Carter-Torrijos Treaties by December 31, 1999.
