The Strategic and Prophetic Stakes of the Panama Canal: Examining President-elect Trump's Vision for National Security and Sovereignty in a Changing Geopolitical Landscape
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to assume office, his recent statements regarding the Panama Canal have reignited a critical debate about American strategic interests and national security. Trump has expressed concerns over the canal's current management, particularly the influence of Chinese companies operating at its entry ports, and has suggested that the United States should consider reclaiming control if Panama does not address these issues.
The Panama Canal, a vital artery of global commerce, was constructed by the United States in the early 20th century and remained under U.S. control until its transfer to Panama on December 31, 1999, as stipulated by the Torrijos–Carter Treaties. These treaties guaranteed the canal's neutrality and Panama's sovereignty over it, while allowing the U.S. the right to defend the canal against any threat to its neutrality.
However, the geopolitical landscape has evolved significantly since the 1999 handover. In 1997, a Hong Kong-based company secured contracts to operate ports at both ends of the canal. Given China's increasing global assertiveness and its strategic investments in critical infrastructure worldwide, this development raises legitimate concerns about potential Chinese influence over this crucial maritime passage.
President-elect Trump's apprehensions are not without merit. The canal facilitates approximately 5% of global maritime trade, with a significant portion involving U.S. vessels. Any compromise to its neutrality or operational integrity could have severe implications for international commerce and U.S. military logistics. Moreover, the recent increase in transit fees imposed by Panama has added to the strain, prompting Trump to describe the charges as "exorbitant" and detrimental to American shippers.
In response to Trump's statements, Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has firmly asserted Panama's sovereignty over the canal, stating that it "belongs to Panama and will continue to do so."
While respecting Panama's autonomy is essential, it is equally crucial to address the strategic vulnerabilities that have emerged due to external influences.
The United States must engage in diplomatic dialogue with Panama to reassess the current operational dynamics of the canal. This includes evaluating the implications of foreign corporate control over critical infrastructure and ensuring that the canal's neutrality is uncompromised. If diplomatic efforts fail to mitigate these concerns, the U.S. should consider leveraging the provisions of the Torrijos–Carter Treaties, which permit intervention to protect the canal's neutrality and security.
Reclaiming control over the Panama Canal is not merely a matter of national pride; it is a strategic imperative. In an era where global power dynamics are rapidly shifting, ensuring that this vital conduit remains free from undue influence is essential for maintaining international trade stability and safeguarding U.S. national security interests.

77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening | Standing Against Opposition – Praying for Boldness to Uphold God’s Truth | DAY 56
Weeks 4-8: Divine Guidance and Governance (Inspired by Joshua)
Focus: Courage in Leadership and Unwavering Faith
Scripture:
"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go." – Joshua 1:7
"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?" – Psalm 27:1
Reflection:
As we progress through Day 51 of our “77 Days to Take Back America: Igniting A Final Great Awakening” campaign of prayer, fasting and repentance from November 5 until January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day, Joshua’s leadership required him to stand firm in the face of opposition, trusting in God’s strength to overcome obstacles. His unwavering courage and faith set an example for Israel to follow. Standing against opposition is not easy, but when we rely on God’s power, we can face challenges boldly and uphold His truth.
Today, let us pray for our leaders to have the courage to stand for what is right, even in the face of opposition. May President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their team remain steadfast in upholding godly principles and leading with integrity. Let us also reflect on our own lives, asking God for boldness to stand firm in faith and truth, no matter the challenges we encounter.
Prayer:
Lord, we thank You for being our stronghold and light in times of trouble. Today, we pray for President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and all leaders, asking that You grant them boldness and courage to stand against opposition. May they uphold Your truth and lead with integrity, trusting in Your strength to guide them.
Father, help us to stand firm in our own faith, even when faced with challenges or opposition. Teach us to rely on Your power and to walk in obedience to Your Word. May our lives reflect Your truth and inspire others to follow You.
In the Mighty name of Jesus, I invoke the standing order of Almighty God to protect my family and our beloved country, America, from every attack, to propel us above every circumstance and crisis, and to prevent any weapon formed against us from prospering, so that we will not fall or fail but will be overcomers, more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. I command angels to surround us, to uphold and guard us in all our ways. Amen.
Wisdom for Awakening:
Courage to stand against opposition comes from trusting in God’s strength. Today, focus on His power and let it embolden your faith.
Action for Awakening:
Identify an area where you feel opposition in your life. Pray for God’s strength and take a bold step today to stand firm in His truth. Encourage someone else who may be facing similar challenges.
Blessing:
May the Lord bless you with boldness and unwavering faith. May He empower our leaders to stand firm against opposition and lead with courage and righteousness. May we all rely on His strength to uphold His truth and fulfill His purpose.
