But Panama’s President, José Rómulo Abella, wasn’t having it. He clapped back, making it crystal clear that the canal is sovereign Panamanian territory. Rumor has it Abella isn’t losing sleep over Trump’s threats. As he put it, the fees are “fair and justified,” and Panama’s not budging.
Trump vs. Canada: The 51st State?!
And if you thought Panama was the only country in Trump’s crosshairs, think again. His northern neighbors are getting dragged into the drama too. Trump has been trolling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—sorry, “Governor Trudeau” (yes, he really called him that)—with wild claims that Canada should join the U.S. as the 51st state. What’s next? Annexing Mexico?
Oh wait, he’s already on that! Trump is doubling down on his threats to label Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations. Word on the street is that his advisors are split: should they ask Mexico to help with military strikes, or just go full cowboy and do it solo?
A New Obsession?
Here’s the tea: Trump seems obsessed with the Western Hemisphere lately. First, it was his wall. Now, he’s reportedly plotting mass deportations, promising to ship millions of people back to Latin America. But get this—he’s counting on these countries to just roll over and accept them. Experts say he’s likely to dangle threats of tariffs and aid cuts to get his way. Classic Trump move, right?
The plot twist? Sending so many people back could actually destabilize these countries even more, causing—you guessed it—more migration. It’s like trying to put out a fire with gasoline!
Trouble Ahead
Trump’s first term was all about stirring the pot in Europe and Asia, but now it looks like Latin America is next in line for his drama. The region could face economic chaos, political instability, and even military conflicts if Trump goes through with these plans.
So, what’s the bottom line? Trump’s second term is shaping up to be one wild ride for the Americas. Buckle up, because the gossip and drama are only just beginning!
