This IS a laughable typical media story….
It’s ANOTHER Trump outta world wet dream like the Greenland one…
(The man contiunes to have issues with Reality)
The utterances deserve NO serious media coverage at all…
Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino shot back Sunday after President-elect Trump suggested the Panama Canal return to U.S. control.
“As president, I want to express clearly that every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent zone belongs to Panama, and will continue to do so,” Mulino said in video statement, according to an English translation. “The sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable.”
“The canal is not under direct or indirect control, neither by China, nor by the European community, nor by the United States, nor by any other power,” Mulino said. “As a Panamanian, I strongly reject any manifestation that distorts this reality.”
“Panama respects other nations and demands respect,” he added.
Trump, on Sunday, suggested to a conference of his supporters that the Panama Canal be returned to U.S. control, vowing swift action over the matter after he takes office in less than one month.
“It was given to Panama and to the people of Panama, but it has provisions. You got to treat us fairly and they haven’t treated us fairly,” Trump said at Turning Point’s “American Fest.”…

“We Panamanians may think differently on many issues, but when it comes to our canal and our sovereignty, we all unite under a single flag, that of Panama,” he said. “We are a country open to dialogue, today and always, to investments and good relations, but with the clear motto that the country comes first.”
“That, for this Panamanian president, is not negotiable.”….
