Summary
The Panama Canal will remain under Panamanian control and open to all nations, according to its administrator.
Claims by Donald Trump that the US should take control or that China controls the canal’s operations were rejected.
The canal’s administrator emphasized the importance of maintaining neutrality and uniform fees for all ships, as part of the canal’s role in global commerce.
Panama’s leaders would be giant idiots if they didn’t have a “dead man’s switch” in place along those lines.
