While visiting Panama this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not mention President Trump's pledge to take back the Panama Canal. Was it just a ploy to make Panama resolve to get tougher on China?

Deporting migrants to Central American countries removes many political and legal hurdles for the Trump administration. How far can the practice go before these nations reach a breaking point?

More than 2,000 people could be displaced by the construction of the Río Indio dam. The Panama Canal Authority says the dam solves a long-term water shortage problem.

The migrants refused to be repatriated to their countries. They will be held in a migration facility near the Darien Gap along the Colombian border until third countries can be found to take them.

The former Florida senator, traveling to the Central American country and touring the Panama Canal on his first foreign trip as top U.S. diplomat, held face-to-face talks with Mulino, who has resisted pressure from the new U.S. government over management of a waterway that is vital to global trade.

Former Florida senator Marco Rubio will make his first official trip abroad to Central America including Panama, which President Donald Trump has riled with talk of trying to reclaim the Panama Canal.

President-elect Trump's made several ambassador picks in Miami and South Florida. Is their lack of diplomatic experience a valid concern — especially when it comes to Panama, the canal and China?

Handing control of the Panama Canal from the U.S. over to the Central American country was one of President Jimmy Carter's most controversial, and most overshadowed, foreign policy achievements.

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday named Kevin Marino Cabrera to serve as his ambassador to Panama, a few days after Trump called for the United States to assert control over the Panama Canal.

José Raúl Mulino has been sworn in as Panama’s next president, facing pressure to slow migration through the Darien Gap that connects his country with Colombia.
