Скачать или смотреть Why Trump's Panama Play Is Much Worse Than You Think

Trump's America is using threats and military force to increasingly get what it wants - including against Panama over its Canal. The USA believes China is exploiting its trade route to weaken US influence, resulting in unprecedented risk of escalation and possible conflict in Latin America.

In this part 1 of 2, l am joined by Will Freeman - fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations - who delves into the strategic significance of the Panama Canal amidst rising US-China tensions, exploring the implications of recent US military agreements and the Panamanian government's response to pressure from the Trump administration. We discuss the historical context of US-Panama relations, public sentiment in Panama, and the potential economic consequences of climate change on the canal's operations. Will emphasises the delicate balance Panama must maintain between its relationships with the US and China, as well as the internal political challenges it faces.
