Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Panamanian leaders that the U.S. would protect its rights under the Panama Canal Treaty if the Central American nation didn’t move to oust Chinese-connected companies near the critical waterway.
“The current position of influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party over the Panama Canal area is a threat to the canal and represents a violation of the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal,” according to a State Department readout of Rubio’s meeting with Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino and Foreign Minister Javier Martinez-Acha.

Denmark’s prime minister insisted on Monday that Greenland is not for sale and called for a robust response from her European Union partners should U.S. President Donald Trump press ahead with his threat to take control of the island.

Everyone calm down.
