Later today, President Trump will meet with his Panamanian counterpart to discuss the Panama Canal.
We could get some clarity after a week of back-and-forth between the two countries.
“We’re going to meet with Panama on Friday about 3:30 in the afternoon by phone,” said Pres.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Panama on his first trip abroad.
