The United States will retake the Panama Canal, according to President Donald Trump, or “something very powerful is going to happen.”

The president, who claimed that China was controlling the waterway and using it against the United States, reaffirmed his commitment to reclaiming the canal or negotiating a new agreement after leaving Air Force One at Joint Andrews Airbase.

“Very joyful people at the moment. No one anticipated that would occur. Thus, they are at home and secure with their loved ones. It was a significant one. We are discussing the Panama Canal while Secretary of State Rubio is in Panama. They’ve done something awful. They broke the contract. They are not permitted to break the contract. The Panama Canal is operated by China. It was foolishly given to Panama instead of China. However, they broke the contract, and either we’ll revoke it or something really significant will occur. Regarding other matters, Trump informed reporters, “As you are aware, we had a very busy week.”
