Panama court ruling delivers Trump a strategic win - and a setback for Xi
Panama's Supreme Court has voided a major Panama Canal ports contract held by a Chinese-linked firm, a significant win for the 'Donroe Doctrine'. This ruling aligns with US efforts to curb Chinese influence over strategic trade routes, complicating Beijing's global commercial footprint and reinforcing US leverage. The decision stems from alleged irregularities, though its geopolitical implications are profound.
