US intentions in Panama triggered concerns after the Trump administration has reportedly asked the Pentagon for "military options" to secure the Panama Canal. Let’s break it down.
The Trump administration is reportedly considering "credible military options" to secure access to the Panama Canal, aiming to strengthen the US presence and limit China's access.
US Southern Command is drafting strategies ranging from partnering with Panama’s security forces to seizing the canal by force, NBC News reports.
The decision to use military force would depend on whether Panama cooperates with the US or not.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has already reviewed the plans and is expected to visit Panama in April.
