00:00And social movements and trade unions in Panama have expressed their willingness to resist
00:05U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to the nation's sovereignty.
00:08The group is led by the organizations that make up the United People Alliance, who reject
00:12Trump's declarations on the Panama Canal.
00:14The U.S. President assured that the tariffs charged on the Panama Canal to U.S. ships
00:18are too high, and that if they are not lowered, he will demand that the canal be handed over
00:23to the U.S. quickly and without questions asked.
00:26On the other hand, the National Union of Workers of Construction and Similar Industries,
00:30SunTracks, said that the sovereignty of the Panamanian people is intact.
00:47He says he has presented a law that could allow them to get the canal by paying one
00:51dollar or more, and we have to say it loud and clear to the person who today, as of today,
00:57will live in this house, who is the ambassador appointed by this Donald Trump.
01:02And we want to make it clear to him that we, Panamanians, are up in arms to defend our
01:07nation, to defend our self-determination, to defend what is ours and we will not cede
01:12or sell it to anyone, neither to the gringos nor to any other power that may have the same
01:16objectives they have.
