US Secretary of State Rubio to make debut in Panama as Trump threatens to take canal
Mr Trump has refused to rule out military force to seize the Panama Canal, which the US handed over at the end of 1999, saying that China has exerted too much control through its investment in surrounding ports. In his inaugural address, Mr Trump said that the United States will be “taking it back” – and he refused to back down Jan 31.
The U.S. secretary of state is expected to focus on mass migration and the Panama Canal as he heads to Central America on his first overseas trip.
