In his speech, President Trump said the United States would also take back the Panama Canal, which was “foolishly” given to Panama.
“So think about it, the United States spent more money on projects than ever before and lost 38,000 lives building the Panama Canal, because of this stupid gift that should never have been given. We have been treated very badly, and Panama's promises to us have been broken,” Trump said.
