Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : The incoming president's remarks likely represent a calculated two-level game strategy: Internationally, Trump is looking to tackle rising canal transit fees while countering China's expanding influence in the Western Hemisphere.
33% : After considerable investment of US blood and treasure, the US-built canal remains a remarkable engineering achievement and a critical artery of global trade.
29% : On Tuesday, Trump deliberately refused to rule out the use of military force, preserving maximum leverage in what has so far been a one-sided negotiation.
21% : Why is Trump focused on these issues now?
9% : Trump's claim that the Panama Canal Treaties were a "bad part" of the Carter legacy is a simplification of the nuanced legal and geopolitical complexities surrounding the Panama Canal.
