A satirical post about the dispute over fees for crossing the Panama Canal is being presented online as an actual development in global affairs.

A Panamanian national holiday remembering the killing of 21 protesters by police and U.S. troops in 1964 is taking on new resonance this year as U.S.

Treaties ratified by the Senate in 1978 established permanent neutrality, but some Republicans regret that decision.

Hundreds of Panamanians marched on Thursday to mark the anniversary of a deadly uprising against U.S. control of the Panama Canal in 1964, with some protesters burning an effigy of President-elect Donald Trump who has threatened to retake the vital global waterway.

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER said that returning control of the Panama Canal to the government of Panama would open global trade opportunities, reduce anti-American feeling in Latin America and boost his country’s prestige.

For weeks, Donald Trump has been stating his intention to take control of the Panama Canal, a critical 51-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Trump's intention marks a rejection of decades of U.S. policy that has prioritized self-determination over territorial expansion.

The canal executive said China doesn’t control route and U.S. ships can’t get better rates than others.
