The Panama Canal, a crucial maritime trade route, has been under Panamanian control since December 31, 1999, following the 1977 Panama Canal Treaties signed during the Carter administration.
- Donald Trump has recently made statements suggesting Chinese troops are operating the canal and indicating a desire to retake control, claims that Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino has firmly rejected as "nonsense."
- Resolution Criteria
- This market will resolve YES if:
- The US military is deployed to the Panama Canal with the explicit purpose of taking control or establishing a military presence
- The deployment must be officially ordered by the US government
