AI Summary:
Panama has become a focal point of the Trump administration as the president has accused the Central American country of charging excessive rates to use its trade passage. The US State Department said Panama’s government had agreed to no longer charge crossing fees for US government vessels, a move that would save the US millions a year. Trump has repeatedly said that the canal will be returned to the US “in full, and without question” if a deal is not reached. At the same time, Rubio accused Panama of ceding control of the canal to China. Mulino has also ordered an audit of Panama Ports Company.
