Our Navy has been treated unfairly: Donald Trump

Donald Trump had said that our American Navy and businessmen have been treated very unfairly. The fees charged by Panama are quite ridiculous. Such things should be stopped immediately. If the Panama Canal is not operated in a safe, efficient and reliable manner, we will demand that the Panama Canal be completely handed over to us.

Trump said that if both moral and legal principles are followed, we will demand the return of the Panama Canal to America as soon as possible.

How important is the Panama Canal to the world?,

The Panama Canal has great importance in the geopolitics of the world. This 82 kilometer long canal connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Interestingly, 6 percent of the world’s trade takes place through this Panama Canal. In particular, 14 percent of America’s trade goes through the Panama Canal. Therefore this canal is very important for the United States. Apart from America, a large number of imports and exports of South American countries also take place through the Panama Canal. In such a situation, American occupation of the Panama Canal may cause disruption in the supply chain around the world.
