President Trump AGAIN Puts Panama's President On Notice That We're Taking Back The Panama Canal! * 100PercentFedUp.com * by Noah

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : Today, in response to the President of Panama saying "every square meter of the Panama Canal belong to Panama", President Trump responded with "We'll see about that!"
58% : It all started yesterday when President Trump suddenly posted this to his Truth Social:The Panama Canal is considered a VITAL National Asset for the United States, due to its critical role to America's Economy and National Security.
54% : Oh my!I even asked Grok if President Trump had solid ground to stand on here, and it said yes, laying out the following strategy:President Trump could adopt a multifaceted approach combining legal arguments, negotiation tactics, and geopolitical strategy if he aimed to revisit the control of the Panama Canal.
54% : New Treaty or Treaty Amendment: By engaging in diplomatic discussions, Trump could push for a new treaty or amendments to existing ones, under the guise of modernizing the agreement to reflect current global trade needs, which could include terms more favorable to the U.S. or even joint management scenarios to ensure American interests are protected.
53% : Key events during American control:Growing anti-colonial sentiment and pressure for self-determination led to negotiations in the 1970s.
47% : This would play into his known strategy of using economic clout in foreign policy negotiations.
47% : Security and Strategic Interests: Emphasizing the canal's strategic importance for global trade and U.S. security, Trump might argue that any management that could potentially fall under influence of countries like China (as hinted in some of his comments) would be detrimental to global stability and thus, require a U.S. oversight or control mechanism.
39% : In case you aren't fully up to speed on your history, I'll end with this recap of how we got to this point and why we don't currently own the Panama Canal:The Panama Canal is a remarkable engineering feat that drastically transformed global trade by linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
38% : Negotiation Tactics:Economic Leverage: Trump could use economic incentives or threats, such as trade deals or tariffs, to pressure Panama into renegotiating the terms of the canal's management or usage fees.
37% : Trump could use his platform to rally public opinion both domestically and internationally, arguing that the U.S. has been unfairly treated or that the currentPresident Trump explains more here when he was speaking with Tucker:Now let's advance the story, because that all happened yesterday.
35% : International Law and Arbitration: If there's a dispute, Trump might suggest resolving it through international arbitration under bodies like the International Court of Justice or through direct negotiation, leveraging the U.S.'s position as a major global player and canal user to influence the outcome.
33% : Here's an optimistic scenario based on available information:Legal Arguments:Reinterpretation of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties: Trump might argue that the conditions under which the canal was transferred have not been met, particularly if there's evidence or a plausible interpretation that Panama has not upheld its side of the agreement concerning canal neutrality or management practices.
28% : This sounds to me like President Trump is not just making wild accusations, but instead is firmly rooted in some very good and solid legal logic.
