Panama Canal is going to unveil a new toll plan. How will Trump respond?
- ACP had decided to maintain ‘previously approved toll increase’ at current levels as it conducts ‘thorough analysis of the next adjustment period’
- Revised toll structure is planned to be introduced by June 2026, followed by formal consultation process before any changes
- US President Donald Trump has gone quiet on Panama for several months, but previously decried the country’s ‘ridiculous’ fees, calling them a ‘rip-off’
There are always critics when the Panama Canal increases its transit fees. The next round of toll changes are coming, and the dynamics will be inherently different this time, courtesy of Trump
