U.S. officials familiar with the planning said options for "reclaiming" the vital waterway include close cooperation with Panama's military and, absent that, possible war.
Apparently part of the treaty that returned the canal to Panama means that either Panama or the US can unilaterally ensure the canal’s neutrality if they feel it is threatened. So I’m sure they could make the argument that it falls under this. It would be bullshit, of course, but so are all of their other arguments.
