Panama's President, Jose Raul Mulino, has firmly rejected US President-elect Donald Trump's demand to reclaim control over the Panama Canal, calling it a non-negotiable issue.
Mulino emphasized the waterway's significance as part of Panama's national heritage, with its sovereignty never up for debate.
Trump had criticized the canal fees and raised concerns over Chinese influence, but Panama stands firm in its control over the strategic waterway.
As tensions rise, this clash highlights ongoing geopolitical challenges surrounding the canal's ownership.
