🇺🇸 Hoy, en el Cementerio Americano de Corozal, me uní a nuestra comunidad y a organizaciones de veteranos para honrar a los valientes estadounidenses que hicieron el máximo sacrificio al servicio de la libertad.
Mientras Estados Unidos conmemora 250 años, recuerdo a quienes lucharon para que perdurara la promesa de 1776 y cuyo valor y sacrificio continúan inspirándonos hoy. #MemorialDay
I was glad to meet with Foreign Minister Martinez-Acha of Panama to discuss practical steps we can take to protect the Panama Canal from malign influence and better protect America's economic prosperity. Working together, there is nothing the U.S. and Panama cannot achieve.
The Global Compact on Migration claims to support “safe” migration.
For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies.
The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations.
Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration – not replacement migration.
At the airport in Panama City there isn’t a “multi-faith prayer room” full of prayer rugs.
There is a chapel. With a cross and the stations of the cross.
And that is why Latin America will likely pull ahead of Europe in the next century.
You can only appease the enemy for so long before you fall to them.
Latin America isn’t appeasing anyone.
Hoy entregamos dos lanchas interceptoras marítimas Safeboat de 41 pies, valoradas en $2,085,000, al ministro de Seguridad de Panamá @frankabregom para nuestros socios de @AerovanalPanama.
Estas embarcaciones son las primeras de seis que Estados Unidos proporcionará al Servicio Nacional Aeronaval durante los próximos tres años a través de @StateINL. Fortalecerán la capacidad de Panamá para combatir a los narcotraficantes y a las organizaciones criminales transnacionales.
Bajo el liderazgo del Presidente Trump, estamos trabajando estrechamente con Panamá para asegurar nuestras fronteras y desmantelar estas redes criminales. 🇺🇸🇵🇦
El Partido Comunista Chino 🇨🇳 ha demostrado que está dispuesto a ejercer presión contra países que no se alinean con sus políticas autoritarias. La retención de buques con bandera panameña es una señal muy preocupante.
Panamá debe levantar con firmeza la bandera de la soberanía y responder con acciones claras frente a estos hechos.
Llamar a nuestro embajador a consulta y evaluar la relación bilateral no es un gesto simbólico: es una decisión necesaria cuando se pone en duda el respeto hacia nuestro país. @USAmbassadorPAN@JoseRaulMulino@javierachapma
Panamá es un pilar de nuestro sistema marítimo y debe permanecer libre de cualquier influencia depredadora. No toleraremos la interferencia de China en el comercio marítimo de nuestra región.
“Supporting Panama’s sovereignty and freedom of navigation is a top priority for SOUTHCOM. Panama is a cornerstone of security in the Western Hemisphere and a vital pillar of the global maritime trading system. China’s recent interference with Panama’s sovereignty over its supreme court decision is a threat to the entire hemisphere. Together with our Panamanian partners, we continue to strengthen our expanding security partnership to confront shared threats, safeguard the Panama Canal, and ensure that the Americas remain stable and secure.”
- #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan’s
🇺🇸🇵🇦Panama is a valued friend and strategic partner of the United States.
My FY27 National Security & Dept of State funding bill, approved by @HouseAppropsGOP, prioritizes partners like Panama that advance shared democratic values and strengthen regional security. The bill supports allies committed to countering the malign influence of Communist China and protecting stability in the Western Hemisphere.
Panama is a pillar of our maritime system and must remain free from predatory influence. We will not tolerate China’s interference in maritime trade in our neighborhood. #AmericasFirst
The sovereignty of our hemisphere is non-negotiable. We are deeply concerned by China’s targeted economic pressure after the Balboa & Cristóbal terminals decision. We stand in solidarity with Panama. Any attempts to undermine Panama’s sovereignty are a threat to us all. https://t.co/x6FKYasGpZ
Si Estados Unidos hace que Argentina recupere las Malvinas, no solo sella una alianza histórica con Argentina, sino que alinea a toda América que va a fortalecerse geopolíticamente de manera continental, en un vinculo de confianza irrompible.
AMÉRICA PARA LOS AMERICANOS
Strengthening the U.S.-Panama partnership:
U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to Army Security Cooperation Group–South, haul a rigid inflatable boat to the Panama Canal during zodiac familiarization and operation training at Aeronaval Base Cristóbal Colón, April 14, 2026. Collaborative training with Panamanian security institutions equips U.S. Army Soldiers with the expertise to fully utilize the speed, stability, and seaworthiness of Zodiac RIBs in joint riverine and coastal operations.
The U.S. and Panama share a close partnership that is vital to advancing security and stability in the Western Hemisphere. #SOUTHCOM @USEmbPAN@USAenEspanol@USArmyWHC@DeptofWar

Reports that China pressured global shipping giants like @Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company to withdraw from Panama Canal ports are deeply concerning.
This is exactly the kind of coercive behavior Chairman @RepMoolenaar has warned about. He has made the U.S. position clear in the past, "China’s malign influence is unwelcome in the Western Hemisphere and it is critical that all ports on the Canal be entrusted to operators who share our common values and a commitment to continued cooperation with both the U.S. and Panama."

For the first time in decades, Chinese influence in Latin America is receding.
The so called “Chile-China Express” submarine cable in Chile has been suspended. Peru chose American F16s instead of China's JF17. Colombia has announced tariffs on Chinese steel. Mexico is reviewing its economic agenda with Beijing. Honduras could soon even reactivate its relationship with Taiwan. https://t.co/PAdQ5ibu9z
