🇺🇸💥🇵🇦 — The United States is considering increasing its military presence in Panama to reclaim the Canal, reports Reuters.

🇺🇸💥🇵🇦White House ‘drawing up plans’ for increasing troops in Panama amid Trump’s push to ‘reclaim’ canal

The U.S. military is reportedly drawing up plans to increase American troop presence in Panama at the direction of the White House – part of President Donald Trump’s goal to “take back” the Panama Canal.

Since taking office in January, the president has vowed to reclaim the Panama Canal, which is currently operated by Panama, as part of his effort to improve foreign relations in what he believes is the nation’s favor.

🇺🇸💥🇵🇦Trump White House has asked U.S. military to develop options for the Panama Canal, officials say

Potential plans range from partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to a less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the canal by force

The White House has directed the U.S. military to draw up options for increasing the American troop presence in Panama to achieve President Trump’s goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the planning.

During a joint address to Congress last week, Trump said, "to further enhance our national security, my administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal.” Since then, administration officials have not said what "reclaiming" means.

U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans that vary from partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to the less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the Panama Canal by force, the officials said. Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much Panamanian security forces agree to partner with the U.S.

The Trump administration’s goal is to increase the U.S. military presence in Panama to diminish China’s influence there, particularly access to the canal, the officials said.

Both Panama and China deny there is any foreign interference in the 50-mile canal, whose neutrality is enshrined in Panama’s Constitution. Chinese officials have accused the U.S. of using "coercion" to pressure Panamanian officials to block Chinese aid projects.

🇲🇽 The Jalisco Cartel Extermination Camp

The horrors described take the Mexican tragedy to a new level of Hell

The ranch was alleged to be run by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and one if its over-zealous local warlords as a “training and extermination camp,” and people briefly went into Google Maps and labeled it as such. It adds credence to the U.S. State Department action in February to designate the Jalisco mob as a terrorist organization.

Mexico has been scarred by mass graves and massacres since at least 2010, and I make a list of the worst atrocities here. Yet there are indications this could take the tragedy of Mexico’s conflict to a new level of Hell.

🇺🇸🗣🆗🇷🇺 — 📰 Bloomberg | NATO Chief Says Russia Relations Should Be Restored Post War | March 14, 2025:

"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said relations with Russia should eventually be normalized once the fighting ends in Ukraine, while stressing the need to keep pressure on Moscow to ensure progress in ceasefire negotiations.

“It’s normal if the war would have stopped for Europe somehow, step by step, and also for the US, step by step, to restore normal relations with Russia,” Rutte said in an interview on Bloomberg TV Friday. “But we are absolutely not there yet, we have to maintain the pressure on them” to guarantee that Russia takes the negotiations seriously, he said.

Rutte met with President Donald Trump Thursday in the White House, where the two discussed a potential US-brokered ceasefire in Ukraine. Europe has largely been sidelined in the negotiations, a fact that has rankled many leaders on the continent.

Rutte has been engaging in intense diplomacy in recent weeks to keep the transatlantic alliance together as Trump has pared back support for Ukraine and has indicated that the US will step back from its traditional security role in Europe. The surprise move has sent European countries scrambling to boost defense spending and rethink their military positioning.

The NATO chief said he was confident Trump was “committed” to NATO and there was “no room for doubt there,” while also praising him for “breaking the deadlock” between Russia and Ukraine."

🇺🇸❌🇿🇦South African Ambassador Emrahim Rasool: Trump is Leading Global White Supremacist Movement

Rasool was addressing the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) in Johannesburg in attempting to explain Trump’s recent foreign policy stances against South Africa’s property expropriation legislation and its alliances with Iran and Hamas, among others.

He said that white supremacism was motivating Trump’s “disrespect” for the “current hegemonic order” of the world, including institutions like the United Nations and the G-20.

He also said that the Make America Great Again movement was a white supremacist response to growing demographic diversity in the United States, and suggested that South African farmers who had presented Afrikaner grievances within the U.S. were part of that global effort
