WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump came out swinging in a combative inaugural speech in which he affirmed plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico and regain control of the Panama Canal.

Several chafed at his plans as President Trump enacted immigration measures affecting their countries and vowed to impose tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

President-elect Donald J. Trump’s threat to take back the Panama Canal may be posturing, but it could dampen the Panamanian government’s wish to broaden relations with the United States, analysts say.
