Trump hints at reclaiming Panama Canal control in first rally speech

President-elect Donald Trump held his first rally in Arizona since winning the November election. He focused on themes of national unity and criticized Panama's government, suggesting he might seek to regain control of the Panama Canal over passage fees he deems unfair. Trump's speech included familiar rhetoric about being "ripped off" by foreign nations and reiterated his belief that he won the 2020 election. He did not address recent budget negotiations or tariffs, which are key parts of his economic agenda. Trump also dismissed suggestions that Elon Musk could overshadow him, asserting that Musk would not be president. He acknowledged increased support from young, Hispanic, and Black voters compared to previous elections.
