Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

During a rally in Phoenix, President-elect Donald Trump criticized Panama's tolls on ships crossing the canal, labeling them exorbitant. He threatened to demand the canal's return to U.S. control if fees are not lowered. Trump's remarks reignited debates over the 1979 treaty transferring control of the canal to Panama. Panama's President Mulino rebuffed this notion, asserting the canal's sovereignty and stating that fees are based on operational costs and market dynamics.
