\n US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian President Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino on Sunday to discuss the management of the Panama Canal.
\n ADVERTISEMENTUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned Panamanian leader Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino that his country could face potential retaliation from Washington unless it reduces what US President Donald Trump considers to be China’s influence over the Panama Canal. On his first foreign trip as the top US diplomat, Rubio held talks on Sunday with Mulino, who has resistedpressure from the Trump administration over management of a waterway that is vital to global trade.Mulino described his meeting with Rubio as “respectful” and “positive”, stating that Rubio made “no real threat of retaking the canal or the use of force”.Rubio told Mulino that Trump believed that China\u2019s presence in the canal area may violate a treaty that led the US to hand over the waterway to Panama in 1999. That treaty calls for the permanent neutrality of the US-built canal.”Secretary Rubio made clear that this status quo is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the treaty,” the US State Department said in a summary of the meeting.Mulino said that he did not “feel like there\u2019s a real threat against the treaty and its validity”.Panama’s president did announce that his government would not renew its participation in China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative once its current agreement expires.\u00a0The initiative, which funds infrastructure projects worldwide, has been criticised for saddling developing nations with heavy debt to China.\u00a0\u00a0Rubio later toured the canal at sunset with its administrator, Ricaurte V\u00e1squez, who has said the waterway will remain in Panama’s hands and open to all countries.The US diplomat\u2019s visit came amid heightened concerns over China\u2019s influence on global trade routes. He warned last week that Chinese-run port facilities at both ends of the canal make the waterway vulnerable to political pressure from Beijing.”[Trump] has been pretty clear he wants to administer the canal again,” Rubio said on Thursday. “Obviously, the Panamanians are not big fans of that idea. That message has been brought very clear.”Despite Mulino\u2019s firm stance that Panama will not negotiate over ownership, speculation persists that the government might consider a compromise \u2014 potentially removing the Hong Kong-based Hutchison Ports company from managing canal operations.\u00a0The firm was granted a 25-year no-bid extension to oversee operations, but an ongoing audit could lead to a rebidding process.It remains uncertain whether Trump would be satisfied with transferring operations to a US or European company, or whether his administration seeks broader control over canal management.North Korea condemns Rubio\u2019s remarksIn a separate development, North Korea issued its first direct criticism of the Trump administration on Monday, denouncing Rubio\u2019s description of the country as a “rogue” state.ADVERTISEMENT”The hostile words and deeds of the person who is in charge of the US foreign policy served as an occasion of confirming once again the US hostile policy toward the DPRK (Democratic People\u2019s Republic of Korea) which remains unchanged,” North Korea\u2019s foreign ministry said.”Rubio\u2019s coarse and nonsensical remarks only show directly the incorrect view of the new US administration on the DPRK and will never help promote the US interests as he wishes,” it added.The statement appeared to reference Rubio\u2019s remarks on The Megyn Kelly Show on 30 January, where he referred to North Korea and Iran as \u201crogue states\u201d while discussing foreign policy priorities.While the US has long characterised North Korea as a rogue nation, Pyongyang\u2019s reaction suggests it will maintain a confrontational stance towards Washington despite Trump\u2019s recent overtures to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.ADVERTISEMENTDuring a Fox News interview on 23 January, Trump called Kim “a smart guy” and indicated his willingness to re-engage in diplomacy. “I will, yeah,” Trump said when asked whether he would reach out to Kim again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
