Senator Ted Cruz just established an official investigation into Panama's violation

Senator Ted Cruz just established an official investigation into Panama's violation of the Canal Treaty, which would give President Trump the green light to retake it by any means necessary.

"President Trump is making a serious and substantive argument that that treaty is being violated. Right now, this committee has jurisdiction under the Senate rules over the Panama Canal, and today, we will examine evidence of potential violations."

"Panama has emerged as a bad actor. Panama has for years flagged dozens of vessels in the Iranian ghost fleet, which brought Iran tens of billions of dollars in oil profits to fund terror across the world. And Chinese companies have won contracts, often without fair competition."
