Summary
Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino firmly rejected any negotiations over U.S. control of the Panama Canal, responding to Trump’s past remarks about reclaiming it.
Mulino clarified that Panama fully controls the canal, though a Hong Kong firm manages ports at both ends.
He aims to use U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to focus on shared interests like migration and drug trafficking.
The U.S. relinquished control of the canal in 1999 under a treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter.

Hong Kong firm
Oh, I don’t see this going well at all.
We’re already putting tarrifs on Taiwan.
Giving Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China were part of Trump’s deal to become president.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Trump is the President of the common man.
“Richest third” is a useless division.
You pretty need to have some equity in a house to be in that category, and it goes all the way up to nearly half a trillion in networth. A significant portion of that “richest” third isn’t even middle class.
The upper third is, as you say, the middle class. However, my main point is that the majority of people in the bottom third preferred Trump.
The poor preferred Harris almost as much as the upper middle class did, but Trump’s message was particularly appealing to working class voters, which is why he was elected.
Under 30k isn’t working class anywhere. That’s pretty damn bad off.
Thank you. I was surprised and confused by the graph. Of course you can’t go by thirds. Income inequality is so great that this graph is practically useless. I’d like to see it split into tenths though.
The top third is the middle class. The super-wealthy don’t show up on graphs like this at all because there are so few of them.
I think tha Panamanians are missing an opportunity here. They could trade the canal for say, Florida?
No one wants Florida. Floridians live there.
But Mar-a-lardo goes along with it.
Not for long! It’ll be underwater soon.
