Opposition politicians in Panama have accused the United States of launching a “camouflaged invasion” of the country after President Donald Trump confirmed the deployment of US soldiers days after the two countries signed a security pact.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday confirmed that deals, including a memorandum of understanding, were reached between the US and Panamanian authorities in efforts to secure “the Panama Canal from Chinese influence”.
“The Panama Canal is key terrain that must be secured by Panama, with America, and not China,” Hegseth said in a statement on Wednesday during his three-day trip to Panama.
