Panama Denies US Claim of Preferential Canal Passage Rights

ai generated text

The Panama Canal Authority has denied claims made by the US State Department that US government vessels would be allowed to transit the Panama Canal for free. The authority stated that there have been no changes to the fee structure for crossing the canal, contradicting the US State Department's claim that Panama had agreed to waive crossing fees for US government vessels.

    1. With total responsibility, the Panama Canal Authority, as it has indicated, is willing to establish dialogue with relevant US officials regarding the transit of wartime vessels from said country.
    2. In response to a publication released by the United States Department of State, the Panama Canal Authority, which is authorized to set tolls and other fees for transiting the Canal, reports that it has not made any adjustments to them.

    1. They are making important statements from the entity that controls U.S. foreign affairs based on a falsehood, and that's intolerable.
    2. I am very taken aback by yesterday's news release from the State Department.
    3. I am extremely surprised by yesterday's state department announcement because they are making important statements … based on a falsehood, and this is intolerable, quite simply intolerable.

    1. They're a democratically elected government. They have rules; they have laws. They're going to follow their process, but our expectations remain the same.
    2. Absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights.
    3. The United States has a treaty obligation to protect the Panama canal if it comes under attack. That treaty obligation would have to be enforced by the armed forces of the United States, particularly the US navy. I find it absurd that we would have to pay fees to transit a zone that we are obligated to protect in a time of conflict.

    1. These so-called concessions that countries in the region are making [to Trump] are all sizzle and no steak.
