“I think it's pretty clear that he wants to manage the canal again,” Rubio, who is planning to meet Panama's President Jose Raul Murino and will tour the canal this weekend. He said in an interview.
“Obviously, Panama is not a big fan of that idea, but it is not an alternative to the central reality of the Panama Canal. We are foreign powers, especially China. It cannot be permitted to maintain potential control. “
Panama has launched some port audits along the canal owned by China -based companies with potential bidding to soothe Trump. However, Panama's Secretary told the Guardian that the audit was motivated by politics and has not been designed to deliver peace to the United States.
“I can't negotiate and haven't opened much of the negotiations on the canal,” Mulino told the reporters on Thursday. “It's sealed. The canal belongs to Panama.”

After that, Rubio travels to El Salvador, where he meets the hardline President Nive Bukele. Nive Bukele cracked down on national violence using a self -proclaimed “iron fist”.
“San Salvador, just decades ago -just 10 years ago, was the world's murder, one of the safest cities in the world today,” says CLAVER -CARONE. “And frankly that many countries in the Western Hemisphere, frankly, this extraordinary measure has become one of the most consequences not only in security, but also in the great ally on migration. “
During the visit, Rubio is expected to focus on the struggle with the increase in China's influence in the region. China has become the largest trade partner in South America, and is also trying to expand the “belt and road initiative” in the Central America.
“Everyone thought China was literally the most influential power in the United States,” said Clubber Caron. “This is a reminiscence of the Golden Age in the United States and the Golden Age in the United States to clearly and definitely leave the 21st century similar to the 20th century in the American century.”
