Panama President Joséraúlmulino, Joséraúlmulino.
As the messenger of the US President Donald Trump, the first overseas trip of Rubio has attracted a lot of attention because Trump has repeatedly hinted that the United States has re -caught the Panama Canal.
On the day of the inauguration ceremony, Trump claimed that American ships were “seriously charged and did not treat them fairly in any way, shape or form”, and pointed out that “the most important thing is that China is operating the Panama Canal.” He had previously stated that the United States could ask the canal.
Mulino tried to dilute the tension at a weekly press conference on Thursday, saying that he wanted to clarify the confusion about China in the canal.
When asked about the control that the canal was returned to us, Murino said, “This is impossible, I can’t negotiate.” “That’s it. The canal belongs to Panama.”
The United States built the canal in the early 1900 because it was looking for a way to promote the transit of business and military vessels between its coasts. On December 31, 1999, Washington, signed by Jimmy Carter in 1977, abandoned his control over Panama Waterway.
“The only thing I want is to remove all garbage from the path, clean the table, talk to the United States, and talk very frankly about the issues of immigration, safety and anti -drug trafficking.
Rubio met Murino on Sunday, February 2.
