Trump's Panama Canal threat blurs lines between policy and provocation
(MENAFN)
With Trump, the differences between serious policy proposals and rhetorical flourishes intended to stoke media attention or energize his base are not always clear. At other times, his provocations have appeared to be the opening salvos in his attempts at dealmaking.
Indeed, when Trump vocalized his threat to take back the Panama Canal this weekend, he did so with an out for the country to avoid his wrath: lower fees on American ships that utilize the passageway to travel between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
It might be difficult to distinguish between Trump's actual policy proposals and rhetorical gimmicks meant to rouse his audience or garner media attention. On other occasions, his provocations have seemed to be the first steps in his efforts to reach an agreement.
In fact, Trump offered the nation a way to escape his wrath when he threatened to retake the Panama Canal this past weekend: reduced tolls for American ships that use the route to traverse between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
