Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, raises concerns to Panama’s president about Chinese influence on the Panama Canal


Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino in Panama to discuss President Donald Trump’s concerns regarding Chinese influence over the Panama Canal. Rubio emphasized that the current situation is unacceptable and that the United States may need to take measures to protect its rights under the Treaty. Mulino previously denied Chinese control over the canal, which is governed by the Panama Canal Authority. The U.S. used to own and operate the canal but transferred control to Panama by 1999. The U.S. can intervene if there is a threat to the canal’s neutrality. Trump has expressed interest in regaining control of the canal and Greenland. Following the meeting, Mulino announced that Panama is looking into ending its involvement with China’s Silk Road Initiative. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz praised this move. The meeting also covered other issues, such as the migration crisis, climate investment, and support for a free Venezuela. Rubio’s meeting with Mulino reflects the U.S.’s efforts to address Chinese influence in the region and strengthen relationships with Latin American countries.
