Trader consensus prices "No" at 90% for US control of the Panama Canal before 2027, reflecting entrenched legal barriers from the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties that transferred full sovereignty to Panama in 1999, alongside diplomatic fallout risks from any forcible seizure. President Trump's repeated threats since his 2025 inauguration to reclaim the waterway over alleged Chinese port influence—via Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison—have prompted security partnerships, joint US-Panama military exercises, and a January 2026 Panamanian Supreme Court ruling favoring divestment of Chinese-held ports to a US-led consortium, but no transfer of canal operations. Recent April 29 clashes escalated as China detained Panamanian ships post-ruling, drawing US and Latin American criticism for sovereignty violations, yet Panama retains operational control amid de-escalation pledges.

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 90% for US control of the Panama Canal before 2027, reflecting entrenched legal barriers from the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties that transferred full sovereignty to Panama in 1999, alongside diplomatic fallout risks from any forcible seizure.
