Part 4/6:
Further delving into history, David highlighted the United States' longstanding involvement in the Panama Canal, recalling the military actions taken during the 1989 invasion that sought to remove a dictator. He argued that the U.S. must reconsider its military stance in the region, especially under different presidential leadership.
Jimenez concurred, remarking that previous administrations, such as that of President Jimmy Carter, made poor decisions that risked American interests abroad. He expressed confidence in the potential of a future Trump administration to refocus American strategies in Panama and reassert U.S. influence, a move that could include military repositioning back to the canal zone.
