Q: Secretary, you now have a 19-member coalition to counter the drug cartels. How much is Chinese influence factoring into the — or how much do they factor in the conversations you had today with these leaders? And, do you feel like the US is making good progress in securing the Panama Canal? I know that's a strategic priority to bring it back into the US control.
SECRETARY HEGSETH: Let's just say country by country it is overwhelmingly clear that the United States of America is the preferred partner of choice. There are a lot of foreign actors that bring in other influences, whether it be China, Russia, Iran — I mean, it was Russian air defenses that were supposed to defend Caracas and didn't work.
There were Cuban guards that were supposed to defend Maduro, and they weren't able to. And now we're seeing the Cubans and the Russians expelled out of Venezuela, and we're seeing a new government in Colombia, and we're seeing new port contracts on both sides of the Panama Canal. You've got a new MOU with Panama. So, our partnership here at Fort Sherman and the jungle school has expanded.
We've got a great ambassador who's making sure that all the economic deliverables we said would happen and military partnerships would happen, actually happen. See, what happens with some of these other countries, whether it's China or Russia or Iran, is that there happens to be a lot of exploitation and self-serving.
And the United States of America shows up, and we want to respect your sovereignty and find ways to mutually work together that are beneficial to you, that empower your people, that bring prosperity to your country. But President Trump has been clear about the Panama Canal. I mean, the United States of America built that canal, secured it with the blood and sweat of a lot of Americans. It's a key piece of terrain.
We've got more troops here in partnership with Panama than we've had in a very long time. PANAMAX is a strategic exercise to defend the Panama Canal. We've got American businesses and CYBERCOM, others involved. So, we're partnering with Panama but, at the same time, we're ensuring that our interests are defended here as well, no doubt.

Are you British? I ask because you used the plural “have” instead of the singular “has”.

That's an easy mistake to make. Especially if you view the Division as lots of troops. But the correct usage is "has".
I made average grades in grammar in the 7th and 8th grades.

Global Market Context: Think tanks like Global Financial Integrity have previously estimated the total global illicit drug market to be worth roughly $426 billion to $652 billion annually, with Latin American and Mexican networks capturing a major share of the production and wholesale value

It isn’t a mistake. Both usages are correct. The British view the Division as a plural, while Americans view it as a singular.
I think the British version is better because when an American transitions to a pronoun he will use “they” not “he.
American mixes singular and plural: The division is going home. They will be there tomorrow.
British use all plural: The Division are going home. They will be there tomorrow.

I’m very familiar with it. Do you think it’s some internationally recognized legal principle?
