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.

Let's be real, no where in the US has stood up to Trump yet, the military won't be much different especially as he's changed all the top people to those loyal to him.

The troops are dumbarses and will go killing people without even knowing or caring where they are.
