Kalshi prices Trump's takeover of the Panama Canal at 30%, betting markets' read of a low but non-trivial path despite Panama's firm resistance. Trump continues to frame Chinese influence as the threat (July 1 speech), while Panama secured a January 2026 court win eliminating Hong Kong firm Hutchison's port concessions and signed security agreements bringing U.S. troops to Panamanian territory. The gap reflects that Trump has already achieved partial strategic objectives—removing perceived Chinese control of key ports—without formally seizing the canal, and Panama's government is determined to retain sovereignty even as it accommodates U.S. security concerns.
