Trump says his administration ‘already started’ reclaiming the Panama Canal

Trump says his administration will be “reclaiming the Panama Canal,” adding that it has “already started doing it.”

“The Panama Canal was built by Americans, not for others, but others could use it. But it was built at tremendous cost of American blood,” Trump said.

Trump mentioned a deal made earlier today, in which the Hong Kong company CK Hutchison said it would sell its controlling stake in a unit that operates two ports on the Pacific and Atlantic sides of the canal to a consortium that includes the U.S. asset manager BlackRock.

Trump also addressed “the incredible people of Greenland,” saying that he supports the right to determine their own future and that they are welcome to join the United States.
