Expresses U.S. concern about growing People’s Republic of China (PRC) influence in Panamanian ports and calls for steps to protect the Panama Canal’s neutrality and security. Urges Panama to remove PRC-run operations at key port facilities, asks the U.S. to offer technical, financial, and strategic support (including investments that are alternatives to PRC-funded projects), and encourages creation of a joint U.S.–Panama task force on canal security and resilience.
