Panama President Jose Raul Mulino is “negotiated” on this issue because it is “impossible” to return the Panama Canal on Thursday to return the Panama Canal to the dominance of the United States. He said he couldn't.
Mulino made a statement at a press conference in anticipation of the arrival of Marco Rubio, Secretary of State of the United States, who is expected to meet Mulino on Sunday. Rubio will Will make Following his first overseas travel as a top diplomat in the United States to Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Dominica Republic were followed.
“For many reasons, US foreign policy has been focused on other areas for a long time while overlooking us.” I wrote In a column Wall Street Journal on friday. “As a result, I hindered the problem, missed the opportunity, and ignored my partner. That is now.”
Mulino, a conservative, ends an illegal immigration that crosses the Darien gap, a fatal junglt trail of Panama, which is preferred by many Venezuelan and other South Americans on the way to the United States, on the way to the United States. I became the president in my promise. The Mulino administration, seeking cooperation with President Donald Trump on immigration, is blind to Trump's declaration to return to the United States and see the Panama Canal built by the United States. Trump also accused Panama charging too many American ships to cross the canal, allowing communist China to control the canal and make the most profitable from its use.
Mulino told reporters that he did not expect to discuss the canal with Rubio.

“The Panama Canal's negotiation process, that is, Panama's negotiation process, cannot be much opened.” Claim Thursday. “In the canal, it is very difficult and impossible.”
Mulino called the dispute “David vs. Goliat's situation,” and claimed that “the soul of the country has no room for debate.” He added that there was no evidence that the Chinese army was active in the Panama Canal, and the US officials did not offer anything.
“About the Panama Canal … The first thing I want to say is that in these first months I haven't received from the US embassy … I absolutely received information about the suspicion of foreign military in the canal. Murino claimed. “If it existed, they did not send it to us in the official method, so they kept it in themselves.”
“Panama dominated the Panama Canal, and it was always in Panama's hand,” he said. “In recent years, our canals have been expanded, have grown, and have served the whole world in a fair world.
Murino has revealed that there is no basis for the conflict, so he is not looking for “any kind of conflict”.
Panama newspaper La Estrela Reported that Mulino did I admit PanamáPorts, a subsidiary of Hong Kong company CK Hutchison Holdings, manages two Panama ports and does not stop doing so. In 1997, Britain gave Hong Kong control to China, and in 2019, the Communist Party strengthened fully dominance with violent crackdowns against dissidents.
Trump restores the existence of the United States in the Panama Canal and is the priority of his second term.
“Looking at the Panama Canal is essential for our country. It is operated by China. We handed the Panama Canal to Panama. We did not give it to China, and they do it. I was abused, “said Trump just before becoming appointed. “They abused the gift.”
Trump criticized former President Jimmy Carter by signed a contract that gave a canal built by Americans to Panama. Panama officially dominated the canal in 1999 as part of the Trijoscar Treaty signed in 1978.
The Torrijos-Carter treaty includes the provisions that Panama requires the neutrality of the canal. In other words, foreigners cannot take over it. Trump's potential growth in the canal and its surrounding China may challenge its neutral provisions, and supporters in Trump argue.
Rubio said in a confirmation hearing for the Secretary of State that it would take into account the possibility that Panama had violated neutral provisions.
“Technically, the sovereignty over the canal has not been handed over to foreign forces, but in fact, there is a possibility that there is a possibility that the condition that the canal was taken over was violated. Rubio is forced to do it through their company. ” I said meeting.
Write on Friday, Rubio Mentioned The Panama Canal, as an important concern about China's impact in the United States, lamentes that former presidential administration has ignored the Western Hemisphere in foreign policy.
“These countries are often ignored by the past administration, which prioritized the global policy that accelerated China's economic development at the cost of our neighbors,” Rubio wrote. “Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party has opposed the United States into vassal state using diplomatic and economic leverage such as the Panama Canal.”
Rubio expanded the olive branches to President Western Hemispheres, calling it a “plugmatist who puts citizens first,” and expected to open in negotiations with the United States.
While maintaining the hardline on the canal, Murino expressed enthusiasm to cooperate with Washington on other issues, or immigrants. He explained Panama as “instead of receiving it, it is the only country in the area. [migrants]Obviously, repatriates the citizens of various nationalities who seek the United States as the final destination to their homeland. Mulino repeats his past claim that the true border in the United States is in Darien gap instead of Texas, and boasts supporting the United States by holding 59 expulsion of 59 in a slight half a year. I did.
“We're not the Immigration Reception Center, not like that,” he said. “We are the center of repatriation and expulsion of the country.”
