  1. It’s US military infrastructure. We were just being nice. But it apparently wasn’t appreciated. Panama is only sovereign so long as the United States deemed it so.

  2. This Panama president is dumb, he keeps pushing trump, publicly challenging him and calling his bluff, even if Trump was not going to do something about it he will actually prompt him to do something about it with his behavior.

  3. The guy hasn't been in office for 24 hours yet and he already wants to invade countries and start more wars, SMH……

  4. "Remains" panamian? Never was. We built it, bled for it, and paid for it. Lol, how about we fight you for it, panama?

  5. Panama makes over $3.5 billion dollars in profit EVERY YEAR from their exorbitant fees. About 72% of the traffic is to and from the US, and Panama makes about 73% profit on a canal that the US built!!! That's the problem.

  6. Your president should be worried about his fentanyl addicts and evident decline of his country instead of screwing up diplomatic relations with allies.
