Trump calls for U.S. control of Panama Canal over management concerns

Donald Trump has threatened to demand the return of the Panama Canal to U.S. control, citing unfair fees for American ships. He criticized Panama's management and expressed concern over China's influence in the region. The Panama Canal, completed by the U.S. in 1914, was handed over to Panama in 1999. Trump stated that if Panama cannot ensure the canal's efficient operation, the U.S. will seek its return. In other news, Trump announced the appointment of Mark Burnett as special envoy to the UK. Burnett, known for producing "The Apprentice," will not require Senate confirmation for his role.
