Panama Canal Under U.S. Protection—No to Chinese Interference, Says Hegseth

The United States will not allow China to jeopardize the operations of the Panama Canal, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned during a visit to the Central American nation on Tuesday.

Question for non-United States folks ... Is the adjective/description "US-American" common, or at least familiar to you? I noticed this caption on #wikipedia. (It's better than "USian," I suppose.)

Arguments against the U.S. using "American" as its demonym are duly noted, but unpersuasive. Look, no other country's name contains the word America. And every alternative is awkward.

By the way, do people from South Sudan, the DRC, or Chad criticize the Central African Republic for claiming "Central African" as their demonym? Have they considered "CA-Republican" instead?

I have more hope for people in #SouthAmerica / #LatinAmerica, Eastern #Europe, #Asia & the #MiddleEast.

Just not #America as it oppressed those regions & forced them into their savage barbaric ideology & culture.
