President Donald Trump announced a series of sweeping changes after being sworn in as the 47th U.S. President on Monday, including plans to "take back" the Panama Canal.

President Donald Trump said the Gulf of Mexico will be called the Gulf of America, while the Denali mountain peak will revert to its former name, Mount McKinley.

President-elect Donald Trump speaks about his ambitions for buying Greenland from Denmark and retaking the Panama Canal despite a treaty.

Donald Trump argues that the US needs Greenland for national security, while a retaking of the Panama Canal is necessary to curb the overcharging of American ships and combat Chinese influence.

S.D., is introducing a bill which would allow President-elect Donald Trump to acquire the Panama Canal for the U.S. once inaugurated.

The U.S. initially acquired the rights to build and operate the Panama Canal in 1903 through the Hay–Bunau–Varilla Treaty which gave the U.S. a 10-mile wide strip of land for a one-time payment of $10 million and then an annual fee of $250,000.

Cunard has opened bookings for its 2026 Alaska voyages on the Queen Elizabeth, featuring 7- to 12-night trips from Seattle to various Alaskan destinations, and also eight Panama Canal sailings.
