💨 Abstract

The Trump administration is considering reclaiming the Panama Canal under a 50-year-old treaty with Panama, which guarantees the waterway's neutrality. Some U.S. officials argue that China's presence in Panama, including Chinese-built infrastructure and Chinese companies operating ports, pose security risks to the canal. However, Panamanian officials have rejected any negotiation or discussion on the canal's ownership.
