The Trump administration’s political winning streak continues.
From Stepheny Price’s article at Fox News:
Panama’s president vowed Sunday to end a key development deal with China after meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and after complaints from President Donald Trump that the Latin American country had ceded control over its critical shipping canal to Beijing.
José Raúl Mulino, Panama’s president, said his nation’s sovereignty over the 51-mile waterway, which connects the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, will remain unchanged. But he said he would not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China’s Belt and Road global development initiative and that Panama would instead look to work more closely with the U.S.
“I think this visit opens the door to build new relations … and try to increase as much as possible U.S. investments in Panama,” Mulino told reporters after meeting with Rubio on his first international trip since being confirmed.
This huge win is on top of Mexico’s sudden agreement (tariff threats from the biggest market in the world do that) to seriously protect the Mexico/US border, and Colombia’s almost immediate cave-in/willingness to accept the Colombian illegal aliens who are being deported back to their native country.
Can Canada be far behind? I doubt it.
Personally, I’ve been following politics for about two-thirds of a century, and I’ve never seen anything like this; I’ve never seen a President meet with this much success in this many arenas over this short a period of time.
May it only continue.
