The envoy of the Trump Administration to Latin America, Mauricio Claver-Carone, discussed the stance of the United States regarding the Panama Canal. According to him, the Panamanian government prefers to keep discussions private, while they would prefer them to be public.
The president of the Panamanian Chamber of Commerce (CAPAC) reacted to Trump's statements by issuing a statement in which he expressed his position on the matter.
In his words, the president of CAPAC declared: "It is essential for Panama to maintain a transparent and open dialogue regarding the Canal, considering its strategic importance to our country."
These statements have generated debate within the Panamanian political sphere, where the best way to address this issue is being discussed in a manner that respects Panama's interests and sovereignty while maintaining good relations with the United States.
