USA & Trump Threaten Panama - Joe Blogs

In this video I discuss the recent statements by Donald Trump that the USA needs to re-take control of the Panama Canal. Panama has stipulated that the Canal is not for sale and that it is not prepared to hand over control however at a recent press conference Donald Trump stated that the Chinese are currently in control of the Canal and did not rule out potential military intervention.

It goes much farther in explaining the
actual situation and the dynamics involved. I've been wanting to hear more about it. Listening to Trump bluster and exaggerate and omit facts tells no one anything other than Trump is a stubbornly ignorant dishonest asshole. Which we already knew.
