#Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino said the #PanamaCanal “is & will continue” to belong to Panama.

His remarks respond to what #Trump said about the canal during his #inauguration speech.

The Panama Canal “has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after the United States — the United States, I mean, think of this, spent more money than ever spent on a project before & lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal,” Trump said. “We gave it to Panama, & we’re taking it back.”
