Former President Donald Trump has called for US ships to be allowed free passage through the Panama and Suez canals. In a series of statements, he emphasized that these vital waterways would not exist without the contributions of the United States. Trump argued that American vessels, both commercial and military, should not incur fees when using these canals, urging immediate action for this policy change. He stated that the country deserves to have unrestricted access to these crucial maritime routes without any charges.
