He noted that the new Trump administration could lift the moratorium on federal executions that has been in place since Joe Bidens presidency except for those related to terrorism and hate crimes.Trump began to threaten PanamaIncoming White House President Donald Trump has accused Panama of charging excessive fees for using the Panama Canal, and has threatened to return the canal to US control.What is important to understand is that the US largely built the canal and governed the area around the passage for decades.However, a quarter of a century ago, the American government fully transferred control of the Canal to Panama after a period of joint administration.Donald Trump believes that the fee charged by Panama is absurd, especially given the extraordinary generosity that the United States has given to Panama.
If the principles, both moral and legal, of this generous gesture of donation are not respected, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us, in full and without question.
