US President-elect Donald Trump threatened to take control of the Panama canal if <\/strong>authorities fail to reduce transit fees for US ships<\/strong>, BBC<\/a> reports, citing a speech given by Agent Orange in Arizona earlier this week. If the \"exorbitant prices\u201d for vessel transits are not reduced the US \u201cwill demand that the Panama Canal be returned to [them], in full, quickly and without question,\u201d Trump said. Around 75% of cargo transiting through the Panama Canal originated from or was traveling to the US in the last fiscal year.<\/p>\n

A swift rebuke: <\/strong>Panama\u2019s sovereignty is non-negotiable, with \u201cevery square metre\u201d of the canal and surrounding area under its ownership, Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino said in response. The canal maintains a neutrality treaty which safeguards fair entry for all nations and non-discriminatory tolls. Panama took complete control of the canal in 1999, following a period of joint operation after the US gave up control in 1977.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
