Trump threatens Panama over canal ownership in social media exchange

Donald Trump has reiterated his claim that the Panama Canal should be returned to the United States. He made this statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, and threatened local officials regarding the canal. In response, the President of Panama asserted that the canal and its surrounding areas are sovereign territory of Panama. He emphasized that they will remain under Panamanian control. Trump later replied with a vague comment, "We'll see about that!" He also posted a photo with the caption, "Welcome to the United States Canal."
