In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
We'll kick things off with President Trump's address to Congress last night, where he declared that the U.S. is "reclaiming the Panama Canal." His statement comes as we learn that asset manager BlackRock has struck a billion dollar deal to place the canal's ports under U.S. control.
