Panama, familiar with US intervention, bristles at Trump's comments on canal

SeattlePI.com Tuesday, 21 January 2025
U.S. President Donald Trump’s insistence that he wants to have the Panama Canal back under U.S. control is feeding nationalist sentiment and worry in Panama, home to the critical trade route and a country familiar with U.S. military intervention. In the streets of the capital, some Panamanians on Monday saw it as Trump’s way of applying pressure on Panama for something else he wants: better control of migration through the Darien Gap. Others recalled the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama with concern. Panama President José Raúl Mulino responded forcefully, saying that the canal belongs to his country of 4 million and will remain Panama’s territory.
