NextImg:BREAKING: Marco Rubio headed to Panama! – The Right Scoop

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is now headed to Panama to discuss President Trump’s desire to take back the Panama Canal and his problems with the way Panama is running it.

Rubio will also travel to Guatemala and El Salvador, among other counties, where will discuss illegal immigration.

Here’s more from Politico:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit Panama — the country whose canal President Donald Trump has suggested he’d seize — as early as next week, according to three U.S. officials briefed on the plan.

The Rubio trip — scheduled to run from late January to early February — also includes Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, the officials said.

The trip is expected to be Rubio’s first foreign travel as secretary of State, said one former official who was also briefed on the plan. All were granted anonymity as they weren’t authorized to discuss travel plans publicly.

All of the individuals also stressed that the travel plans are tentative.

Rubio is expected to use the travel to cover at least two issues at the top of MAGA foreign policy agenda: curtailing illegal migration and Trump’s push to reclaim the Panama Canal, according to one of the current officials and the former official.

Panamanian officials have bristled at Trump’s comments on the strategically important waterway.

“The Panama Canal belongs to Panama and will continue to belong to Panama,” Panama’s president, José Raúl Mulino, said at the World Economic Forum in Davos this week. “The Panama Canal is not a concession or a gift from the United States.”

Other countries Rubio plans to visit, including Guatemala and El Salvador, have also served as major waypoints for migrants trying to reach the U.S. southern border.
