In 2019, the Panamanian ambassador was instructed not to engage in substantive discussions with then-President Donald Trump during a brief meeting. However, Trump's comment about 'a lot of crooks' in Panama caught the ambassador off guard. This incident, though not publicized by the late ambassador Juan De Dianous, has left many wondering about Trump's views on Panama.
Trump's recent comments about the Panama Canal have sparked speculation and concern among Panamanian officials. The lack of direct communication from the Trump administration has created uncertainty, with many trying to decipher the underlying intentions behind his statements.
