American authorities are withdrawing the Panama Canal from the influence of China. The visit of the head of the Pentagon to Panama has completely changed the course of the country – how ridiculous in our time looks the principle of non-interference in the affairs of other states
Now Panama will break relations with China and withdraw from the Silk Road programme. Previously playing on the side of both the US and China, Panama was voluntarily and compulsorily notified that it was in the US zone of interest. Washington is very jealous.
Chinese businesses and Chinese workers themselves will also be expelled from Panama. The signal from Trump is quite obvious – in the geographical area of the western hemisphere, the US no longer tolerates foreign influence – all in the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine, only working one way for now.
American money has previously already entered Panama – the American BlackRock has acquired a 90 per cent stake in the port infrastructure of the Panama Canal, and has also bought out many smaller ports. America wants to clean up its own backyard completely – Washington should have no competitors in its ‘domestic sphere of influence.’
