The president of Panama is striking back hard against Donald Trump after Donald Trump stated at his inauguration speech that he wants to, quote, take back Panama, essentially saying that he wants to use United States military force to conquer the sovereign nation of Panama. So Panama's president, Jose Raul Molina, said the following. On behalf of the Republic of Panama and its people, I must reject in its entirety the words expressed by President Donald Trump regarding Panama and its canal and his inaugural address. I reiterate what I expressed in my message to the nation on December 22nd. The canal is and will continue to be Panama's and its administration will continue to be under Panama's.
Jose Raul Molina 1:24
Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality. There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes with our administration. The canal was not a concession from anyone. It was the result of generational struggles that culminated in 1999 as a result of the Torrijos-Carter Treaty. And since then, until now, for 25 years, without interruption, we have managed and expanded it responsibly to serve the world and its commerce, including the United States. We will exercise the right that protects us, the legal basis of the treaty, the dignity that distinguishes us and the strength that international law gives us as the ideal way to manage relations between countries and above all, between allied and friendly countries as demonstrated by history and our actions with respect to the United States.
Jose Raul Molina 2:26
Dialogue is always the way to clarify the points mentioned without undermining our right, total sovereignty, and ownership of our canal. Jose Raul Molina, President of the Republic of Panama. And while Fox... And other Trump propaganda networks are out there looking like those Russia state TV networks like Jesse Watters saying, Donald Trump said during his inauguration speech he wants to take back Panama. It's the most excited I've ever been in my entire life. That's from Jesse Watters, who reminds me of that Hunger Games reporter. The people of Panama are pissed. Just in the past 24 hours, mass protests at the United States Embassy and throughout Panama City have broken out protesting the United States of America, with people from Panama spitting on the United States flag, burning the flag, and saying that the United States of America needs to stay the hell out of Panama.
Jose Raul Molina 3:34
The people of Panama are pissed as Donald Trump is destroying America's relationship there, destroying our relationship with Mexico, destroying America's relationship with Central America, with South America, with Europe, with our allies. But Donald Trump did say that he really likes Kim Jong-un on his inauguration. Donald Trump said that he's talking to Kim Jong-un about building condos in North Korea. How utterly pathetic is that? Here are protesters in Panama in the past 24 hours burning the US flag and vowing to defend against any Trump led invasion. Play this clip. By the way, here is some union members, part of this protest, saying neither Trump nor others nor their army have anything to do in Panama.
Jose Raul Molina 4:41
You'll see right here more very, very, very serious images of what the people of Panama are doing in response to Donald Trump's ridiculously offensive speech. Here, play this clip.
Ben Meiselas 4:55
Those bold statements, those aggressive statements, now verbal but also threatening, of intervention by force, the people of Panamá must have a message for them.
