Fact check:

The Panama Canal is entirely sovereign and operated exclusively by Panamanians. Its management and control rest solely in the hands of Panama, with no foreign government permitted to interfere with the nation’s sovereignty. pic.twitter.com/Z6l4X1lYaQ

Believe it or not, but it’s true. The Panama government accused Trump properties there of tax evasion so Trump wants them to give him the Panama Canal. pic.twitter.com/NMYUL8eior
