During a visit to the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota, President Donald Trump engaged with an AI-generated version of the 26th president, asking whether the Panama Canal constituted Roosevelt’s greatest achievement. The exchange, posted by Trump’s communications aide on social media, comes as Trump has repeatedly floated reclaiming the waterway, which Panama now controls under treaties signed by Jimmy Carter. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has firmly rejected such talk, asserting Panama’s sovereignty over the canal. Trump’s trip also included a ribbon-cutting for the library—opening July 4—a loan of Roosevelt’s Medal of Honor, and a speech in which he criticized Democrats for giving away the canal. The incident highlights Trump’s ongoing interest in Roosevelt’s legacy and the canal’s strategic importance.
