The Panamanian Association of Business Executives (APEDE) is organizing an international forum called "The Future of the Canal in the Time of Trump," which will be held on March 12 at the headquarters of the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino) in Amador. The moderation will be handled by renowned journalist Laura Puertas.
The objective of this forum is to provide a space for analysis and discussion about the implications of external threats against Panamanian sovereignty, as well as to explore strategies that ensure the continuity and efficiency of the Panama Canal. The event will feature the participation of prominent experts in international affairs and diplomacy, including Alonso Illueca, Anne Milne, Jorge Eduardo Ritter, and Jorge Luis Quijano.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, has recently suggested that the Panama Canal should return to American hands, generating rejection both in the government and in Panamanian society. This forum is organized at a critical moment for the Canal, and participants will offer valuable perspectives and concrete proposals to address these challenges.
The event will start at 8:30 a.m. and is expected to be a crucial platform for the exchange of ideas and the formulation of solutions that guarantee the sustainability and prosperity of the Panama Canal in the coming years. APEDE invites all interested parties to attend and participate in the conversation about the future of the Panama Canal.
