Gimenez calls Trump Panama threats 'legitimate'
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.) on Monday called President-elect Trump’s recent threats about the Panama Canal “legitimate.”
“I always take the president seriously, and it’s … [a] legitimate threat to Panama,” Rep. Gimenez told Fox Business's Ashley Webster on “Varney and Company” when asked if the U.S. had a chance at getting the Panama Canal “back.”
“He wants a better deal, and I think we need to get a better deal from — from Panama,” he added.
