[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What triggered Trump to go after the Panama Canal?[/quote] The rise of Chinese influence in Latin America generally and on the Panama Canal specifically has been a focus of the State Department since Trump's last term. Trump is famously a China hawk and this is a continuation of that. Framing this as being between Panama and the US is basically Chinese disinformation. This is about containing China's aggressive takeover of Latin America. [/quote] China essentially owns and runs the Canal. Their belt and road initiative in the western hemisphere should be countered by the US. Trump is absolutely right on this one. [/quote]
