Donald Trump criticised Panama Canal tolls as "ridiculous" and threatened to reclaim control if issues are unresolved, citing concerns over US trade and security.
US President-elect Donald Trump criticised "ridiculous" tolls for US ships using the Panama Canal and warned he may demand its return to US control if the issue is not resolved.
On Truth Social, Trump called the canal vital for US trade and security, denouncing the 1977 treaty that handed control to Panama by 1999.
He also raised concerns about foreign influence, especially from China, and vowed to prevent the canal from falling into "the wrong hands."
Trump argued that the US is being unfairly treated and hinted at reclaiming the canal if Panama cannot ensure its secure and efficient management.
The Panama Canal, a critical route for US trade and military operations, generates billions in revenue and connects the US with key trade partners in Asia.
