US Secretary of State follows President Donald Trump’s extraordinary threat to occupy the Panama Canal.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stopped his first official foreign travel in Panama Threatened to catch Panama canal.

Rubio was expected to visit Panama’s strategic waterway at the beginning of his trips to the five countries in the region and met with Jose Raul Mulino on Sunday.

He wrote in the Wall Street Journal on Friday: “My first trip abroad will leave me in hemisphere, which is by no means accidental.”

The canal is a key connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific and the Coast, and 40 % of the container traffic is undergoing experience.

Trump refused to exclude military forces to occupy the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal surrendered by the United States at the end of 1999 said that China imposed too much control over the surrounding ports.

Trump said in his inauguration last month that the United States would “retrieve it” and refused to retreat on Friday. When talking about Panama, Trump said, “They have proposed to do a lot of things, but we think it is appropriate for us to take it back.”

He claims that Panama is deleting the Chinese logo to cover up the “completely violated agreement” on the canal. Trump told reporters: “Marco Rubio is talking to the gentleman who is responsible.”

Rubio’s mission is also closely followed Council levied on ace In Canada, Mexico and China, and almost all US foreign aid frozen, which shows more aggressive foreign policies.

“Canal belongs to Panama”

Panama President Murino Exclude negotiations Have ownership of the canal with the United States. He said he hoped that Rubio’s visit would focus on the common interests of immigrants and drug trafficking.

“This is impossible, I can’t negotiate,” Murino said on Thursday. “The canal belongs to Panama.”

However, Rubio said he would make Trump’s intention clearly. He said in an interview with Siriusxm host Megyn Kelly on Thursday that Trump’s wishes were driven by legal national security interests that are increasingly concerned about Chinese activities and Latin America.

“We will solve this theme,” Rubio said. “The president knows that he wants to manage the canal again. Obviously, Panama is not a loyal supporter of this idea. The information is very clear.”

Although Mulino rejected any negotiations, some people believe that Panama may be open to compromise, and the Canal operations of both sides have been taken away by Hamson Port in Hong Kong.

It is unclear whether Trump will accept the transfer of concessions to the United States or European companies as the request to meet his requirements, which seems to not only cover operations.

“In some ways, Trump is opening the door,” said Ryan Berg, director of the Assembly and International Research Center of the Think Troupe in Washington, DC. “But this will depend on how his red line is defined.”

He said: “There are many major remarks, it will clarify it (Rubio).”
