You touch on it, but I would like to highlight it.
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, the district judge does lack the jurisdiction. Then who does have the jurisdiction? I would hope the United State's Supreme Court does, and if it does, Alito's opposition is a copout. The case is in front of you, rule on the legality of whether the Trump administration can withhold funds on work already done or legally contracted to be done.
Yeesh, statements like that are too much like a Politian speaking and not a Supreme Court justice.
Would you agree that there are different types of control?
Physical, emotional, economic, etc.
China is more of an economic control version. The amount of import/export that China controls, banking, and infrastructure in Panama increases the economic control they have on Panama.
Leveling that out so one country does not control a large chunk of the purse strings to Panama is good and a win for Trump.
Let me get this straight, the ports where ships that cannot go through the Panama Canal get their shipments unloaded and loaded back on ships that can go through the canal has no control over what goes through. You sure about that?
So, being concerned that the Chinese had too much control over the Canal and then a US firm is set to take control of these ports to reduce Chinese influence is not a win? Got it.

Good point.
I guess the question is did the pressure speed this up any of help overcome resistance.
I could not find anything talking about it.

That is good heeling.
Another win for President Trump.

Chuckle, nice dig.
Well, it happened yesterday. My company is moving 90% of its production out of Mexico to a low-tariffed county.
I guess they took to month pause to put in place the move.
Suggesting tariffs could replace income taxes is not the same as promising he would.
Trump has always been about making the deal and I fully expect that here.
Also, I fully expect some promises of his will not be kept. That is why I like to point out ones that HAS kept. Even when I do not like them.
Why not? President Trump said he was going to do this. Promises kept (even if I am not a fan of this one).
If he continues with those promises, these tariffs are not meant for the long term (though I would bet on the China ones lasting long).
Once concessions, “concessions”, or nothing are worked enough. They will go away and markets will be happy.
We saw the bounce on Trump's delay last month, and something similar will happen when these tariffs are removed.
Let the market sag today. Then buy stocks tomorrow.
Sooner or later (with concessions, "concessions", or nothing as the cause) the tariffs will go away and the market will bounce.
