Description
Standing in front of a mural that reads "No to invasion" with a crossed-out eagle, Panamanian union leader Edgardo Voitier calls on the US to "respect" his country's "sovereignty." "The canal belongs to Panama," he says ahead of Marco Rubio's visit as part of a Central American tour, his first trip as US secretary of state.
Like Voitier, other Panamanians are reacting to the visit and hoping for "diplomatic talks" after President Donald Trump threatened to seize the Panama Canal, arguing that it is under Chinese control. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
