Panama rejects Trump’s pledge to take back the Panama Canal
 
Panama’s President Jose Raul Mulino has rejected President Donald Trump’s pledge that the United States would be taking back the Panama Canal, saying the key inter-oceanic waterway would remain under its control. The canal is and will remain Panama’s, he added, dismissing Trump’s claim that China is operating it. There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes, Mulino said. The canal was built by the United States and opened in 1914.
