A United States senator has introduced a resolution urging Panama to cut ties with China. This action adds to other initiatives by U.S. lawmakers concerned about China's growing influence in Latin America and its possible interference in regional affairs.
The resolution seeks to pressure Panama to reconsider its relationship with China, citing concerns about national security and the sovereignty of the country. The senator highlighted the importance of maintaining strategic allies in the region that respect democratic values and U.S. interests.
In a statement, the senator said: "It is crucial that Panama understands the implications of continuing to strengthen its ties with China, especially in sensitive areas like infrastructure and technology." This request reflects the increasing attention that some political sectors in the United States are paying to China's relations in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The resolution, although non-binding, aims to send a clear message to Panama about U.S. concerns. Such actions are expected to continue in a context of growing competition between global powers for influence in the region.
