Ignoring international law and sovereignty, US President Donald Trump demands that US ships be allowed free passage through the Panama and Suez Canals, arguing that “they wouldn’t exist without the USA.”
Writing on Truth Social, he claimed the US deserves toll-free access because it built and protected the canals, and directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to act on the issue.
US President Donald Trump called for US military and commercial ships to be granted free passage through Panama and Suez Canals, saying the United States was instrumental in the creation of both waterways.
Writing on his platform, Truth Social, Trump said he had instructed State Secretary Marco Rubio to address the matter “immediately.”
Trump, who previously pledged to “reclaim” Panama Canal from Chinese influence, accused Beijing of controlling the strategic passage. His remarks coincided with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino’s decision to withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative and to authorize the deployment of US forces around the canal.

International politics is a matter of great care and delicacy.
Why would they allow the Tyrant Trump be?
