Panama has formally complained to the United Nations regarding U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement suggesting a potential U.S. seizure of the Panama Canal. President Jose Raul Mulino emphasized the canal's neutrality and reaffirmed Panama’s sovereignty over the waterway. In response to Trump's remarks, Panama initiated an audit of the Hong Kong-linked operator, Panama Ports Company, to assess compliance with concession agreements. The dispute highlights tensions over the canal, a critical trade route for the U.S. and China.
