New US President Donald Trump has renewed his hostile remarks in direction of Panama‘s authorities in a speech at his inauguration on Monday.

President Trump raised his considerations over Panama Canal tolls charged to US-flagged ships in a speech after being sworn into workplace on Monday.

“American ships are being severely overcharged and never handled pretty in any approach, form or type, and that features the US Navy,” President Trump stated within the speech.

“And above all, China is working the Panama Canal, and we did not give it to China.

“We gave it to Panama.

“And we’re taking it again.”

President Trump has raised the problem earlier than in latest weeks. It stays unclear whether or not his feedback signify a army menace to Panama or a negotiating tactic looking for to safe canal toll reductions for US ships.
