On a positive note.... Marco Rubio (Trump's Sec of State) had a meeting with the head of Panama.... "suggested" to him that Panama should not let the CCP have control of any of the canal, or the US would have to take steps to correct it.... and, imagine this.... Panama is not going to have any more dealings with the CCP... will not renew any contracts, and are looking into the possibility of getting out of the current contract early.
It's amazing what can happen when a serious adult is in charge again....
