Summary
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino to discuss Trump’s demand for the U.S. to reclaim control of the Panama Canal, citing China’s growing influence as a security risk.
Mulino rejected any negotiations but proposed talks on Chinese involvement and migration. Rubio warned of U.S. action if changes aren’t made.
Protests erupted in Panama City against U.S. interference.
Despite tensions, Rubio downplayed military intervention, calling the canal a “core national interest” as he continues a broader Central America tour.
What does Devin Nunes have to do with any of this?
Sorry, there are too many idiots in this moron-soup and I forgot which one is the mad cow man. Thank you for this correction. I’d delete my comment, but I just don’t care that much…
