Скачать или смотреть Trump’s maximalist demands about the Panama Canal could backfire

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently met with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino to extract concessions to U.S. demands, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated calls to take back the Panama Canal. CFR Latin America expert Will Freeman argues that although the two sides came to agreements on some key points—including allowing U.S. military deployments alongside the canal and granting free passage for U.S. Navy warships—the Trump administration’s maximalist approach could backfire by weakening President Mulino politically at home, making future compromises less likely.
