Panama's President José Raúl Mulino Asserts Sovereignty Over Every Square Meter of Canal After Trump's Threats
Dec 22, 2024, 08:32 PM
Panama's President, José Raúl Mulino, has firmly asserted the country's sovereignty over the Panama Canal in response to threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Mulino stated that 'every square meter of the canal and its surrounding area belongs to Panama,' emphasizing that the canal is an 'inalienable part of the nation.' This statement comes after Trump criticized the canal's tolls and threatened to reclaim it if tariff reductions were not made. Mulino's remarks underline Panama's position regarding its control over the canal, which has been managed by the country since the implementation of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties. The president's response has been characterized as a clear rejection of Trump's claims, reinforcing Panama's constitutional guarantees of sovereignty over the canal.
