US President Donald Trump said that he intends to “regain control” of the Panama Canal, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be responsible for this work. He made the corresponding statement while speaking on Tuesday to the House of Representatives and the Senate of the US Congress with a speech on the situation in the country, and priority areas of domestic and foreign policy.
“My administration will restore control of the Panama Canal, and we have already begun to do so,” Trump said. “Marco Rubio will be responsible. Good luck, Marco. Now we know who to blame if something goes wrong,” the US President emphasized.
