Trump orders ideas from Pentagon for ‘unfettered’ access to Panama canal, officials say
Document described as interim national security guidance calls on US military to create options
Why??? You started a fucking trade war and nobody wants to buy US now. Why would the US need this access for anything aside from trading with other countries?
Wow. Didn’t really expect him to actually start a war this quick.

Why would the US need this access for anything aside from trading with other countries?
To move warships rapidly between the two oceans during the world war he's going to start, obviously.
Or so that he can control other countries' trade. He would be the gatekeeper unless ships wanted to take the long route around the Americas.
Have you actually been through the Canal? I have been on a cruise that went through it. It takes hours. That is some slow ass war if I’ve ever heard of one.
I presume going around South America takes a bit longer.
Wars are slow
US Warships already have access. About 40 passages per year.
More mundanely, because the US has bases and shipyards on both coasts.
This from the guy which was harping on about Kamala being a war monger.
