China's Out: American Company Taking Control of Panama Canal Ports

 

President Trump can probably chalk this up as a win: The American asset manager BlackRock, according to an announcement made on Tuesday, will be purchasing two key Panama Canal ports from a Hong Kong-based Chinese firm. The possession of these ports by a Chinese concern has, according to President Trump, represented a strategic threat to American shipping as well as to the movement of naval vessels.

 

The ports in question are Balboa and Cristobal.

 

The Panama Canal has vast strategic importance for pretty much every nation on the planet. An enormous amount of shipping passes through the canal every year, not to mention military traffic. Since the canal was built by the United States at an enormous cost, President Trump has been advocating the complete return of the canal to American control. It's not at all clear if that will happen, but at least these two key ports will no longer be in direct Chinese control.

Ontario Backs Down:

Premier Suspends Surcharge on Canadian Energy, Will Meet Commerce Secretary Lutnick

by Ward Clark

 

The Trump administration just chalked up another win.

 

On Tuesday, the premier of the Canadian province of Ontario, who had slapped a 25 percent surcharge on electricity exported from that province to the American states of Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, relented after the Trump administration proposed a new round of tariffs. The premier took to X to announce that he was suspending the electricity surcharge.

Do you ever post thoughts in your own words?  you're like a clearing house for far right influencers.  .trump spoke briefly about playing the long game.  bullying and threatening long time, important allies is not that.

You spend a great deal of time whining about Trump/Musk/bad maga people. What is your assessment of the state of the democrat party? Any thoughts on their behavior at the pseudo SOTU last week?

Same complaint here since 2012.

 

I post for information that you will never see on your own.

 

You post to "squabble and win"

 

I also post my own thoughts frequently, but acknowledging that would ruin your childish post.

Ok, I agree to an extent, but of all the fabrications about Trump, that cartoon jawline takes the cake.
