Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

During Secretary of State Marco Rubio's recent visit to Panama, he warned President José Raúl Mulino to mitigate Chinese influence over the Panama Canal or face U.S. actions. This followed Trump's threats regarding the canal's control, provoking protests in Panama. Rubio's trip focused on migration, exemplified by his observation of a deportation flight returning 43 migrants to Colombia, highlighting U.S. priorities on immigration. He noted a significant drop in migrant crossings, partly due to increased cooperation with Panama, which has decreased its Chinese collaborations, including withdrawing from the Belt and Road initiative.
