Donald Trump said he wouldn’t rule out military force to take back control of the Panama Canal.
The statement ratcheted up rhetoric over the US-built waterway, which has seen the US president-elect complain of high tolls and favouritism towards China.
The comment came during a press conference in which a reporter asked Trump whether he could assure the world that he would not use military or economic coercion against Panama or Greenland, which he wants to acquire.
