Belize Pushes Back Against U.S. Over Panama Canal

The Forty-seventh President of the United States has announced plans to invade Panama and take control of the Panama Canal, a crucial shipping route connecting the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. Prime Minister Briceño has made it clear that Panama is a sovereign nation and has Belize’s full support.

“I don’t see that happening, the United States invading Panama to take over the canal. It is good politics, good to say but I don’t think he will go through with that. But our support is one hundred percent with Panama. Panama is a sovereign country, and the canal belongs to Panama.”
