Trader consensus prices "No" at 89.5% reflecting the absence of any US military action or diplomatic agreement to seize Panama Canal control, despite President Trump's early 2025 threats citing excessive fees and Chinese influence via nearby ports operated by Hong Kong's CK Hutchison. Panama President José Raúl Mulino asserted sovereignty and declared the crisis over in January 2026, following US pressures that led to a BlackRock-led consortium acquiring those ports in February, reducing Beijing's foothold without altering canal operations under the Panama Canal Authority. Recent US Southern Command visits in late March 2026 focused on joint security and counter-drug efforts, underscoring partnership over confrontation amid 1977 treaty commitments ensuring perpetual neutrality. No scheduled escalations signal a takeover before 2027, with high barriers including international law and trade disruption risks.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Panama Canal comes under US control by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of this market, US control means the United States assumes primary operational authority over the canal, either via diplomatic agreement, military action, or any other means.
An official announcement made by the United States and Panama that the Panama Canal will come under US control will qualify, even if the actual transfer of control is yet to occur. Only announcements of official agreements or actions (e.g. executive order, signed legislation, etc.) will count - mere posts on Social Media will not.
The resolution source for this market will be official information from the US Government and the Government of Panama, however a consensus of credible reporting confirming that the Panama Canal has come under US sovereignty will also qualify.Trader consensus prices "No" at 89.5% reflecting the absence of any US military action or diplomatic agreement to seize Panama Canal control, despite President Trump's early 2025 threats citing excessive fees and Chinese influence via nearby ports operated by Hong Kong's CK Hutchison.
