President Jose Raul Mulino expressed confidence in Panama's control over the canal, stating, 'There are no hands involved in the canal other than Panama's. Rest assured, it will be in our hands forever.' This assertion came amid rising tensions with Donald Trump, who has suggested the US may seek to regain control over the vital waterway.
The ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the canal's return featured top political leaders affirming Panama's sovereignty. However, the celebration faced a backdrop of Trump's persistent rhetoric regarding US dominance over the waterway, causing unease among attendees.
