The Trump Maritime Orders

In a series of recent executive actions, U.S. President Donald Trump has reignited discussions surrounding American influence in key maritime corridors. His policies concerning the "Gulf of America" and the Panama Canal have sparked geopolitical tensions and raised questions about global trade stability.One of Trump’s most controversial proposals has been his call for the United States to regain control of the Panama Canal, which was handed over to Panama in 1999 under the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. Trump argues that growing Chinese influence over canal operations poses a national security risk, citing the presence of Hong Kong-based Hutchison Ports, which operates terminals at both ends of the canal.
