President Trump to Congress: “My Administration Will be Reclaiming the Panama Canal, and We’ve Already Started Doing It”

President Trump on Tuesday celebrated increased American presence and influence over the Panama Canal, declaring in a speech to Congress that the U.S. is taking back the Panama Canal. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, BlackRock Inc. struck a $23 billion deal and secured control over key ports near the Panama Canal, stripping away Chinese-linked influence over one of the world’s most crucial shipping routes. This reportedly will effectively place the strategic ports under American control.

This comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Panama last month to meet with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino and Foreign Minister Javier Martínez-Acha to discuss CCP control of the Panama Canal and fighting the border crisis.

President Trump commented on the deal, announced before his speech Tuesday, and indicated his administration will be reclaiming the entire Panama Canal.

He tasked Rubio with taking the area back.

President Trump Trolls Deep Staters Mercilessly During Joint Session

Between his Inauguration Speech on January 20, 2025, his beat down of the World Economic Forum attendees a few days later, and now his March 4, 2025, Joint Session Address, President Trump has delivered a beating to the disorganized remnants of the Deep State.

President Trump reigned over the U.S. House chamber in his Joint Session speech last night as a super-human figure.  The trolling of the Deep Staters by President Trump was merciless as he pounded the Democrats over and over and over.

Representative Al Green (D-TX-9) appeared to be the nominated Democrat personality to try to create a disruptive spectacle.

At 9:25pm Eastern Standard Time, Green was escorted out of the chamber after direction from House Speaker Michael Johnson to the House Sergeant at Arms.

Green had been standing, shouting, and waving about his cane wildly, for several minutes which made him look like he thought he was in the British Parliament.

Representative Green is no stranger to bombastic and scandalous behavior.

In 2017 he announced an agreement with a former staffer over allegations of sexual assault.  The staffer, Lucinda Daniels, first made the charges ten years earlier.

Al Green’s 9th District includes parts of Harris County and Houston.  For anyone who knows about Election Integrity in Texas, they realize Harris County and Houston are ground zero for Texas election malfeasance.

EPIC! President Trump Calls Out Warmonger Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren During Speech – Then Warren Claps for 20 More Seconds

President Trump called out Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) during his Congressional Address on Tuesday after the Democrat clapped in favor of five more years of war in Ukraine. 

Democrats interrupted with loud clapping as President Trump noted that hundreds of billions of dollars have gone to Ukraine, and “millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight.”

They were clapping for war!

Trump then asked, “Do you want to keep it going for another five years?” Elizabeth Warren apparently continued clapping. “Yeah, you would say—Pocahontas says, Yes,” Trump replied.

Trump: I’m also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense with no security.

You want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, you would say— Pocahontas says, Yes.

Nancy Pelosi Gets TRIGGERED During Trump’s Speech, Visibly Shaken After Trump Asks Democrats to Work Together to Make America Great Again – Looks Like She’s Having a Stroke!

Democrats lost it during President Trump’s first address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

Democrat lawmakers were disruptive and looked disgusted as President Trump outlined the rapid success of his second administration…

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrats were unhinged, booing President Trump at the beginning of his speech. Far-left Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX) was forcibly removed from the Capitol over his repeated disruptions.

About five minutes after Al Green’s ejection, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) looked like she was having a stroke when President Trump called on Democrats and Republicans to unite for the good of our nation!

Thousands of migrants return home by boat after Trump’s crackdown on asylum

Migrants who once risked their lives traversing the jungles of the Darien Gap in search of asylum in the US are now returning to their home countries.

After former President Donald Trump‘s crackdown on asylum policies, many migrants, primarily from Venezuela and Colombia, have abandoned their attempts to reach the US.

According to authorities, this has resulted in a “reverse flow” of migrants.

Speedboats are now transporting them from Panama back to Colombia, navigating the dense jungle rivers near the border.

Many had previously spent months, even over a year, in Mexico, awaiting asylum appointments through the CBP One app, which has since been discontinued under Trump’s policies.

Karla Castillo, a 36-year-old Venezuelan traveling with her younger sister, said: “When Trump arrived and eliminated the application (CBP One) all our hopes went up in smoke.”

The boats depart from a rural part of Panama and cross the seas in packs to reach Colombia.

They were part of a well-oiled migrant smuggling machine, which once raked in money from the steady flow of hundreds of thousands of people headed north nearly a year ago.

Hours After Trump Paused All Arms To Ukraine, Zelensky Reportedly To Sign Minerals Deal Under ‘Trump’s Strong Leadership’

Is President Trump going to announce ‘mission accomplished’ on the Ukraine minerals deal during tonight’s speech before a joint session of Congress? A breaking Reuters headline strongly suggests this is the case:

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration and Ukraine plan to sign the much-debated minerals deal following a disastrous Oval Office meeting Friday in which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was dismissed from the building, four people familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump has told his advisers that he wants to announce the agreement in his address to Congress Tuesday evening, three of the sources said, cautioning that the deal had yet to be signed and the situation could change.

But as we’ve seen in the last several days since Friday, a lot can happen in one afternoon. Zelensky gave an ‘almost apology’ on Tuesday (below), but not quite what the administration seems to be asking for.

JUST IN: President Trump Resumes Tariffs Against Canada, Mexico, and China

President Trump has reinstated his tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act after temporarily suspending the tariffs last month during negotiations to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl. 

However, the President told reporters on Monday that there is “no room left for Mexico or for Canada,” citing the “vast amounts of fentanyl” that has come into the U.S.

Trump: No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No, the tariffs, you know, they’re all set. They go into effect tomorrow… And just so you understand, vast amounts of fentanyl have poured into our country from from Mexico, and as you know, also from China, where it goes to Mexico and goes to Canada. And China also had an additional 10%, so it’s 10% plus 10%. And it comes in from Canada, and it comes in from Mexico. And that’s a very important thing to say.

Trump slapped the tariffs on the three countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in February.

  • 25% tariffs on all Mexico imports
  • 25% tariffs on nearly all Canadian imports — 10% on Canadian energy resources
  • 10% tariffs on all China imports

An additional ten percent tariff on China was imposed on Tuesday, bringing the total to 20%.

CNN Vehemently Rejects Joe Rogan-Fueled Conspiracy Theory That CNN Aired Trump Rally Because They Knew He’d Be Shot

CNN vehemently rejected a conspiracy theory that has taken hold on the Right — which suggests that the network somehow had advance knowledge of the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life.

The theory has been making the rounds following Joe Rogan’s podcast with Elon Musk — which was posted on Friday . In a clip from the podcast being widely circulated, Rogan seemed to suggest that because CNN broadcast the rally, it knew about the assassination attempt beforehand.

“You also know that CNN streamed it live, which I do not believe they did for any other rally — and certainly not for a rally in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania. Like, there’s a lot of weird shit.”

Trump Eases Restrictions on Airstrikes, Special Operations Raids

President Trump has eased restrictions on US airstrikes and special operations raids in areas outside of countries officially considered combat zones by the US, giving US military commanders the freedom to launch attacks without permission from the White House.

The order reverts back to the policy of the first Trump administration, doing away with restrictions President Biden added to US drone strikes and raids outside of Iraq and Syria, the only two countries the US officially considers combat zones.

Biden’s rules required permission from the White House to target militants outside Iraq and Syria unless they were high-ranking commanders. But the rule had a major loophole: Strikes could be ordered if they could be framed as “self-defense.” In Somalia, the US almost always claims its airstrikes are launched in defense of the US-backed Mogadishu-based government.

Trump’s rules give commanders the ability to target any militants belonging to organizations the US considers terrorist organizations without White House approval. The easing of the restrictions was confirmed by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who shared a CBS News report about the step on X and wrote, “Correct.”

The news comes amid an uptick in US airstrikes in Somalia and Syria. US officials told CBS that al-Shabaab in Somalia, which the US targeted three times in recent weeks, and the Houthis in Yemen were discussed as potential targets by the Trump administration.
