The people of Panama burned the American flag + video
reported Mehr News Agency quoted by Rashatodi, in the continuation of the tension between Washington and Panama City, the people of Panama came to the streets and burned the American flag in protest against the recent claims of Donald Trump, the new American president, about the acquisition of the Panama Canal.
A few hours ago, the government of Panama announced that due to the “worrying threats” of Donald Trump, the President of the United States to take over the Panama Canal by sending a letter to Antonio Guterres, the Secretary General of the organization. The United Nations has complained about Washington to the United Nations.
Panama’s letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations refers to this article of the United Nations Charter, which prohibits any member of the United Nations from “threat or use of force”. It prohibits against the territorial integrity or political independence of another member.
Jose Raul Molino, the president of Panama, in early January, in response to Donald Trump’s threat to take back control of the Panama Canal from the country if it continues to levy heavy duties on American ships, said that This channel has been a part of the history of the Panamanian struggle and is irreversible.
Trump previously wrote in a message on his social network called “Truth Social” that “our naval and commercial ships have been treated very unfairly and recklessly.” The taxes imposed by Panama are ridiculous. This “pure crushing” of our country must be stopped immediately
He criticized the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, which was signed by Jimmy Carter, the president of the United States at the time, and handed over the control of the canal to Panama in 1999, adding: the management of the issue is merely It belongs to Panama, not China or any other country. We will never let this channel fall into the wrong hands!
Trump also added that if Panama is not able to guarantee the safe and effective operation of this canal, the United States will demand its return “completely and unconditionally and why.”
Molino, in response to Trump’s threat, emphasized in a video speech that the sovereignty and independence of Panama “is not negotiable” and further emphasized the importance of the Panama Canal as part of the “history of struggle and “Irrevocable conquests” of this country, he emphasized.
He said: Every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjacent areas belongs to Panama and will remain so.
Molino, rejecting Trump’s claims, said the canal’s toll rates are set publicly and transparently based on market conditions, international competition and operating costs and maintenance requirements. He emphasized that since the transfer of the canal from America to Panama on December 31, 1999 under the agreement signed in 1977, there have been no objections or complaints about Panama’s control.
