Part 3/6:
As Trump begins to outline his policies, one of the most audacious proposals is the reassertion of U.S. control over the Panama Canal—a global strategic asset currently administered by Panama. Trump has made headlines by challenging Panama on the issue, claiming excessive fees charged for passage through this critical waterway. The president of Panama, however, has firmly rebutted this assertion, declaring that the canal and its surroundings are the sovereign territory of Panama. Trump's determination to reclaim control highlights his resume as a business-oriented leader who favors American dominance on the world stage and reflects his “America First” approach.
