In response to this post Mulino also responded to #Trump’s assertion that the canal was given to #Panama. “The Canal was not a concession from anyone. It was the result of generational struggles that culminated in 1999, as a result of the Torrijos-Carter treaty &, since then until now, for 25 years, without interruption, we have managed & expanded it responsibly to serve the world & its commerce, including the United States,” Mulino said in his statement. #PanamaCanal #idiocracy #expansionism #USpol

In response to this post In his speech, #Trump also suggested that “#China is operating the #PanamaCanal.” Mulino rejected that, saying, “There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes with our administration.”

In response to this post President Mulino responded in a Spanish-language statement saying, “I must reject in its entirety the words expressed by President Donald #Trump regarding #Panama & its Canal.” “The Canal is & will continue to be Panama’s & its administration will continue to be under Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality,” the statement reads. #PanamaCanal #expansionism #USpol

In response to this post #Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino said the #PanamaCanal “is & will continue” to belong to Panama. His remarks respond to what #Trump said about the canal during his #inauguration speech. The Panama Canal “has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States — the United States, I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before & lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal,” Trump said. “We gave it to Panama, & we’re taking it back.”

In response to this post #Trump also hails President McKinley, who got the #PanamaCanal going & fought the Spanish-American war. Trump is making it clear that he wants control of the canal back, & falsely claims that “#China is operating the Panama Canal.” He ends by saying “we’re taking it back.” #FactCheck #TrumpLies - #Panama operates the Panama Canal, though the ownership of ports at either side of the canal by a Hong Kong-based company has raised some security concerns.
#Trump is signing documents before the formal lunch at the Capitol, including one that said US flags should be flown at full staff on his & future inauguration days even if it otherwise interrupts a mourning period where the flag would be half staff; the flags were all at half staff mourning the passing of President #JimmyCarter. The prospect that flags would be at half staff as a sign of respect for the former President Carter pissed Trump off.

The new #Trump White House on Monday said that President Trump would withdraw the #UnitedStates from the #ParisAgreement, the pact among almost all nations to fight #ClimateChange.
By withdrawing, the US would join #Iran, #Libya & #Yemen as the only 4 countries not party to the agreement, under which nations work together to keep #GlobalWarming below levels that could lead to to #environmental catastrophe.
