A Republican Congressman plans to introduce a bill that would authorize President-elect Donald Trump to buy and re-take the Panama Canal. The post GOP Congressman to Introduce Bill to Authorize Trump to Retake Panama Canal appeared first on Breitbart.
The main conceptual idea of the text is that a Republican Congressman is proposing a bill that would authorize President Trump to negotiate the repurchase of the Panama Canal from Panama.
The Congressman argues that this would enhance US national security and project American strength, citing concerns about China's interest in the region and the canal's importance to the US economy. This proposal is based on Trump's previous statements indicating he believes the canal is a "vital national asset" and threatened to retake it if Panama imposes "exorbitant" transit fees. However, Panama has already rejected any discussions regarding the US taking control of the canal.
