AI Summary:
Marco Rubio has warned Panamanian leader José Ral 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. Rubio said Trump believed that China’s presence in the canal area may violate a treaty that led the US to hand over the canal to Panama in 1999. Rubio warns that Chinese-run port facilities make the waterway vulnerable to political pressure from Beijing. "[Trump] has been pretty clear he wants to administer the canal again," Rubio says. Despite Mulino’s firm stance that Panama will not negotiate over ownership, speculation persists that the government might consider a compromise. The firm was granted a 25-year no-bid extension to oversee operations. It remains uncertain whether Trump would be satisfied with transferring operations to a US or European company.
