(12) CHINA DELAYS TRANSFER OF PANAMA PORTS: CK Hutchison announced this morning that it would not sign over the Panama ports to BlackRock on 02 April because that is not the “real deadline” but just the earliest possible signing date. They elaborated that the deal is not canceled but delayed due to “complexity.” Former U.S. diplomat Dan Kritenbrink warned Chinese media that the Chinese government was risking “further complicating” the U.S.-China relationship by intervening in the deal

U.S.-Panama deal. Following meetings between U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Panama’s security minister, Frank Abrego, the two sides agreed to allow U.S. troop deployments to several sites along the Panama Canal. However, Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino clarified that the agreement does not authorize a permanent American base – rejecting a U.S. request – due to domestic opposition and legal constraints. All future deployments will require Panamanian approval.
