President-elect Donald Trump would not even be able to take the Panama Canal by military force as such an act would require the approval of Congress which he would not get, former Assistant Secretary of State PJ Crowley says.

If the United States does take some sort of unilateral action,
00:03
I mean, how will those same countries react across Latin America?
00:07
And I'm thinking particularly about Cuba and Venezuela that aren't so very far away.
00:12
Well, let's just nip that in the bud.
00:14
There is no way that the president has the authority, you know,
00:19
to send military forces into Panama to take control of the treaty.
00:23
He can't do it. There's no crisis. There's no authority.
00:27
It is a declaration. It is an act of war.
00:30
He would have to get permission from Congress to do this,
00:34
and that's not going to happen.
00:36
So it is Donald Trump making noise to draw attention to himself,
00:45
which is something that we saw during his first term
00:48
and obviously something he's going to continue to do during his second term in office.
