Summary
The Panama Canal will remain under Panamanian control and open to all nations, according to its administrator.
Claims by Donald Trump that the US should take control or that China controls the canal’s operations were rejected.
The canal’s administrator emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality and uniform fees for all ships, as part of the canal’s role in global commerce.
The US doesn’t own the Panama canal? I thought that was the whole shit behind speak softly but carry a big stick thing? Guess I need to do some wikipedia-ing.
