*Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Panama yesterday, in the first visit by a top US official in decades – and the results so far appear to be quite satisfactory.*
*In the forceful speech he made on the pier the US and Panama restored, Hegseth was incisive about the need to curtail Chinese influence on the Canal.*
*He said ‘Together, we will take back the Panama Canal from China’s influence’, and also that ‘China did not build this canal. China does not operate this canal, and China will not weaponize this canal’.*
*In a US-Panama joint statement, it was announced several courses of action: Panama breaks with Communist China and aligns itself with the US; having abandoned Beijing’s ‘Silk Road and the Belt And Road Initiative’, the Central-American country will restart military exercises with Washington; and will work to curb illegal migration though its territory to the US.*
*Panama also announces to be joining forces with the US to secure the Canal from Chinese influence, containing Communist China and its proxies’ growing influence in the region.*
