Summary
Russia warned Donald Trump against reclaiming control of the Panama Canal after Trump declared in his inauguration speech that the U.S. would “take it back,” citing overcharges on American ships and China’s influence.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama’s legal ownership and the canal’s neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.
Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino also rejected Trump’s threat, calling Panama’s control “non-negotiable.”
The Panama Canal, vital for U.S. trade, handles 40% of its container traffic, raising tensions over Trump’s provocative remarks.
They ought to defend the Panama Canal with the Panama Papers
You guys are absolutely delusional if you think that Putin is being serious about threatening Trump. Orange is his personal bitch, his best asset. They will obviously throw some bombs at eachother from time to time to make sure that the public is not aware of their actual relationship.
See if I were Trump, which I’m not, but if I were an aspiring dictator with the world’s most powerful military at my command, I’d say “Putin says I can’t what?”
I, personally, would be like “lol, you can’t threaten me, you’re not even competition, where’s my money bitch” and provide weapons to Ukraine until he’s literally giving away Russians as slaves instead.
But, I’m not Trump. And Trump is too stupid to make this realization that he doesn’t need to respond to any demands made by papi, regardless of it being theater or real.
Russia’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama’s legal ownership and the canal’s neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.
Oh, the fucking irony.
Must be a huge relief to Panama to have Trump’s boss tell him to cool it.
That message was direct from Putin to Trump. We’ll hear no more word of it.
putin so would love it.
lol
lmao
and so forth
Russia’s foreign ministry … urging respect for international agreements.
I love the blatant hypocrisy in international politics. 😂
it’s not hypocrisy dude, it’s cover. see the fucking game.
Russia. Seriously?
The only reason Trump is making a play for Greenland and the Canal is to give Vlad cover to take over Ukraine. It couldn’t possibly be any plainer if he got on stage and told you.
