Panamanian university slams US meddling in Panama Canal

Panama City, Apr 23 (UNI) Recent visits to Panama by high-ranking U.S. officials aimed to "undermine Panamanian dignity and sovereignty," the state-run University of Panama said Tuesday.

Earlier this month, Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino received various visits by high-ranking U.S. officials, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. Southern Command.
