Trump’s 13 biggest lies of his first month back in office

President Donald Trump moved at a blistering pace in his first month back in the White House. He lied fast and furious, too.

Who controls the Panama Canal?

President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to regain U.S. ownership of the Panama Canal, which the United States previously controlled until a treaty transferred full ownership to Panama in 1999.

The canal facilitates hundreds of billions of dollars of trade each year. It is a central point for international commerce, vital to U.S. supply chains, and critical to Panama’s standing as a regional trade hub. Yet, China’s growing commercial ties to Panama and the region have fueled U.S. concerns about Beijing’s broader role in global shipping and port operations.
