U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated threats to annex Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal, sparking strong responses from the affected nations. Javier Martinez-Acha, Panama’s Foreign Minister, declared that the sovereignty of Panama over the canal is non-negotiable. The Panama Canal, crucial for global maritime traffic, connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans in just eight hours. Although Trump claims that China is attempting to control the canal, the Panamanian government denies such accusations, emphasizing their independent management since 1999.
