CDM has been on top of the Panama Canal situation with our contributor Michael Yon as the Trump administration looks to re-establish the Monroe Doctrine in our hemisphere.
The Key Terrain In Question In Panama
Today Secretary of Defense Hegseth gave a speech at the Canal, highlighting its American heritage and the Trump administrations willpower to retake control of the waterway.
"I want to be VERY clear: China did not BUILD this canal, China does not operate this canal, and China will not WEAPONIZE this canal."
As we speak China is building infrastructure around the canal to essentially remove itself from any international accountability for its actions. The road through the Darien Gap to North America leads through the Canal Zone. The human trafficking and fentanyl moves via the Canal Zone as well, according to Yon.
Defense of the Canal is a major undertaking but critical as the CCP could shut down the waterway quite easily, and hinder U.S. naval movement to confront any Chinese aggression.
