ACP Comments on State Secretary's Visit

The Panama Canal Authority issued a statement regarding the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump continues to insist on the narrative about the alleged Chinese influence in canal operations.

Amid this controversy, Washington remains firm in its position and avoids moderating its statements on this specific issue.

In the statement, the ACP expressed its official stance without providing further details. Despite this, the debate surrounding China's participation in the Panama Canal continues to generate comments from important political figures like Rubio and Trump.

"It is essential to thoroughly review any type of external interference in a waterway of such importance for international trade," stated Rubio in a recent interview.

For his part, Trump reiterated his concerns and pointed out that it is necessary to investigate the relationship between China and the Panama Canal to ensure security and transparency in its operations.
