Panama City- President Trump’s top diplomat will travel abroad this weekend, head to the Central America, and return home with a message that the United States is expecting the United States to cooperate in large -scale expulsion of immigrants.
However, the newly confirmed Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, be careful to avoid long -standing US allies, which suppress illegal immigrants and have already played a strong role in accepting exiles. You need to.
Rubio’s first Saturday stop Panama is a particularly delicate case.
Trump is an important means of international transportation that Panama has dominated the problem of immigration and has dominated the immigration problem by declaring the Panama Canal, a 50 -mile waterway that connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. I declared.
“The issue has been closed,” Panama President Jose Raul Mulino said at a press conference this week. “The canal is from Panama.”
Murino refused to ponder the canal’s “negotiations process.” The canal succumbed to Panama in 1999, ending the long -standing pain in the United States in Latin America.
For many Panama people, canals represent income, employment and identity. Last year, the operation of the canal by the independent Panama Committee donated $ 2.4 billion to state resources.
The canal said, “Panama’s” existing assets, “said Panama’s former U.S. Ambassador John Fillie.
The waterway was cut into the narrowest part of Panama by French and US engineers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Most thousands of caribbean workers have died of illness and accident. Later, in 1977, President Carter signed a treaty that provides the control of the canal in 20 years later.
Filly said the Trump administration, “knock on the open door,” in seeking Panama’s cooperation in immigration. But the canal is another problem.
“If you regain the canal in the United States, it won’t happen,” he said. “The only way … the United States is to regain the rule of the canal. If there is another military invasion and occupation, and you show me even among Trump voters with that appetite. I don’t think you can find it. “
However, Trump claims that China’s influence on the canal is currently threatening US national security. Experts say that Trump is exaggerating, but it is true that companies managed by China have some ports and other assets. China in Latin America has made a big invasion of infrastructure and diplomacy and often uses our carelessness.
The canal says, “It’s no longer autonomous -they must do whatever the (Chinese) government tell them,” Rubio is an interview with podcast host Megin Kelly. I talked about. “And if the Chinese government tells them to close the Panama Canal in the conflict, they need to do so.”
He added as follows. … and I think it was quite clear that he wanted to administer the canal again. “
Rubio must balance the boss’s demands, trying to maintain a good relationship with the United States, which is a faithful alliance with the United States starting from Panama.
“Panama was very useful for dealing with the border,” said Mauricio Club -Kallon, a special messenger in Trump to Latin America.
The relationship with Colombia is more nervous.
President Gustabopetro received hundreds of expulsion from the United States for over two years.
However, on Sunday, he returned to two military flights with immigrants. He said he would continue to accept flights, but he wanted the Colombian people to “dignified.”
Trump immediately threatened 25 % of Colombian exports (mainly roses, coffee, oil), hindering thousands of Colombians from getting a visa to the United States.
The two leaders immediately overcome the line and resumed their flights. The Trump administration has defended an aggressive approach.
“It’s … I will send a message that the result will occur,” said Claver-Carone.
Rubio also travels to El Salvador and Guatemala. In El Salvador, the official of the Trump administration praised the large -scale imprisonment of President Nive Bukele suspected of gangs. It is a bukele enacted by suspending its own constitution and promoting criticism from human rights organizations. Trump administration has quoted it as a potential model to deal with US criminal immigrants.
For the first time in modern history, the Ministry of State is starting from Rubio with Latin American experts and top heavy.
However, Trump has single of more transaction approaches. Experts say that policies that focus on democratic systems and human rights for decades will be replaced by rewards for the cooperation of immigrants.
A traditional approach that demands democracy in some way has been held in China, which has never made such a demand. In contrast to China, the United States came with the Washington think tank, the International Research Center for the Washington, with a “lesson bundle and no goods bag” leading the American continent program.
BERG states: “By taking the natural area as a range of US influence, a strategic vacuum that promotes geopolitical purposes with minimal pushbacks of small and less power rivals in China.”
Panama’s role in immigration puzzles was to remove citizens from other countries who are stuck in Japan when trying to move north. These include people in China, Sudan, and other distant places.
Supporters have said that the Trump administration’s recent freezing of foreign aids has hurt Latin America, which makes life -saving foods and Heath programs.
