Secretary Rubio to Visit Central America Amid Trump's Push to Reclaim Panama Canal
Jan 23, 2025, 11:55 AM
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to embark on his first international trip as early as next week, visiting Panama and several Central American countries, including Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and the Dominican Republic. The trip comes amid President Donald Trump's recent remarks expressing a desire for the United States to reclaim control of the Panama Canal, citing concerns over Chinese soldiers operating the canal. Rubio is expected to address issues such as curtailing illegal migration and discussing the canal. Panama's President responded to Trump's statements from the World Economic Forum in Davos, asserting that the Panama Canal is sovereign Panamanian territory and dismissing any notions of U.S. control.
