Rubio’s visit should highlight Trump’s seriousness about returning the Panama Canal to US control.

New US Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to make his first foreign visit to Latin America next week, specifically to Panama. Bloomberg reported this, citing a source, on Thursday, January 23.

The visit should highlight the seriousness of President Donald Trump’s intention to return the Panama Canal to US control.

The US Secretary of State also plans to visit Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica.

The trip will be Rubio’s first overseas since he was sworn in as America’s top diplomat on January 21.

Typically, a US State Department chief’s first trip is to a geopolitically important ally of the country: Rubio’s predecessors Antony Blinken and Rex Tillerson traveled to Japan and Germany, respectively.

It can be remembered that in December 2024, Trump threatened Panama to remove the Panama Canal if the country does not stop charging what he considers excessive fees.

Amid Trump’s threats, Panama launched an audit of a Chinese-linked company that controls two ports adjacent to the Panama Canal.
