Trump holds first rally in Virginia after election win, emphasizes unity and targets Panama Canal

President-elect Donald Trump held his first rally in Virginia since winning the November election, addressing thousands of supporters. He emphasized national unity and expressed satisfaction with his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, highlighting a spirit of togetherness. Trump also targeted Panama, suggesting he might seek control of the Panama Canal if passage fees are not adjusted. This comment was quickly rejected by Panama's president, who viewed it as a threat to sovereignty. Additionally, Trump dismissed claims that he is ceding power to Elon Musk, asserting he remains in control. He did not address tariffs or recent budget issues, focusing instead on the expanded Republican coalition, thanking supporters for their contributions to his victory.
