00:00If the United States does take some sort of unilateral action,
00:03I mean, how will those same countries react across Latin America?
00:07And I'm thinking particularly about Cuba and Venezuela that aren't so very far away.
00:12Well, let's just nip that in the bud.
00:14There is no way that the president has the authority, you know,
00:19to send military forces into Panama to take control of the treaty.
00:23He can't do it. There's no crisis. There's no authority.
00:27It is a declaration. It is an act of war.
00:30He would have to get permission from Congress to do this,
00:34and that's not going to happen.
00:36So it is Donald Trump making noise to draw attention to himself,
00:45which is something that we saw during his first term
00:48and obviously something he's going to continue to do during his second term in office.
