Panama hits back on US canal plan

Cape Argus

|

April 11, 2025

US DEFENCE Secretary Pete Hegseth floated the idea on Wednesday of US troops returning to Panama to “secure” its strategically vital canal, a suggestion quickly shot down by the Central American country’s government.

Panama hits back on US canal plan

Hegseth suggested during a visit to Panama that the US could “revive” military bases or naval air stations, and rotate deployments of US troops to an isthmus the US invaded 35 years ago.

He also said his country was seeking free passage through the canal for its navy ships.

US President Donald Trump, since coming to power in January, has repeatedly claimed that China had too much influence over the canal, which handles about 40% of US container traffic and 5% of world trade.

His administration has vowed to “take back” control of the strategic waterway that the US funded, built and controlled until 1999.

Hegseth suggested on Wednesday the slew of former US military bases that dot Panama could be used again to host US troops.
