Some people have thought that Trump’s talk about the Panama Canal was just talk. They were wrong.
Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio is already planning his first international trip – to Panama. Why do you suppose he is going there?
Could it be because the new Trump administration is serious about the United States retaking control of the canal? It sure looks that way.
Politico reported:
Rubio is heading to Panama
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to visit Panama — the country whose canal President Donald Trump has suggested he’d seize — as early as next week, according to three U.S. officials briefed on the plan.
The Rubio trip — scheduled to run from late January to early February — also includes Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic, the officials said.
The trip is expected to be Rubio’s first foreign travel as secretary of State, said one former official who was also briefed on the plan. All were granted anonymity as they weren’t authorized to discuss travel plans publicly.
All of the individuals also stressed that the travel plans are tentative.
Rubio is expected to use the travel to cover at least two issues at the top of MAGA foreign policy agenda: curtailing illegal migration and Trump’s push to reclaim the Panama Canal, according to one of the current officials and the former official.
They are wasting no time.

Anyone on the left who thinks that the new Trump administration can be ignored is gravely mistaken. They are intent on delivering. Let’s celebrate with this 1980s hit from Van Halen. You all remember this one, right?
