Panama President Jose Raul Mulino has reported that a United States Embassy official is allegedly threatening to revoke the visas of Panamanian officials. This development arises as the US administration, led by President Donald Trump, seeks to limit Panama's associations with China.

During a press briefing, President Mulino claimed, without presenting evidence, that a US Embassy official is “threatening to take visas,” which he described as inconsistent with the positive diplomatic relationship he aims to maintain with the United States. He did not disclose the identity of the official involved.

The US Embassy in Panama has not provided an immediate response to these allegations. Historically, the Trump administration has refrained from commenting on individual visa matters.

In September, the US Department of State reiterated its commitment to countering China's influence in Central America. The department announced it would impose visa restrictions on individuals connected to China's Communist Party or those perceived as undermining regional democracy on behalf of China.

Recently, the Trump administration revoked the visas of six individuals for comments related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Similar incidents have occurred in the region. In April, former Costa Rican President Oscar Arias reported the cancellation of his US visa. In July, Costa Rican Congress Vice President Vanessa Castro disclosed that her visa was revoked due to alleged links with the Chinese Communist Party.

Panama holds a strategic position in the US-China tensions due to the Panama Canal. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit in February emphasized reducing China's influence over the canal. Although Panama denies Chinese control over canal operations, it has complied with US requests to encourage a Hong Kong-based company to sell its canal-related concessions.

President Mulino reiterated Panama's commitment to maintaining the canal's neutrality, stating that the conflict between the US and China does not involve Panama. He expressed that while the US can manage visa issuance at its discretion, threats should not be used as leverage.
