Watch: Trump chats to AI Teddy Roosevelt in bizarre exchange over Panama Canal

Donald Trump spoke to an AI Theodore Roosevelt about the Panama Canal in a bizarre encounter.

During a visit to the former leader’s Presidential Library in North Dakota on Wednesday (1 July), the current US president asked his predecessor if he thought the construction of the artificial waterway was his greatest achievement.

“The canal stands as one of my proudest battles. But greatness is a strange thing. It isn’t always the biggest or boldest job that matters most,” said the hologram.

Mr Trump has previously threatened to take back the Panama Canal, which was created to ship goods between the US and Panama after the latter gained independence from Colombia.
