The US State Department said on Wednesday that the US government ships can now transit the Panama Canal without any fee.
The department has now agreed not to charge a fee for the US government ships to cross the Panama Canal, “the department said in a post on X.
It said that the agreement will save the US government millions of dollars every year.
The Panama Canal Authority did not immediately respond to the remarks request.
US State Secretary Marco Rubio met Panama President Jose Raul Mulino during a visit to Central America on Sunday.
The Panama Trump has become a focal point of the administration as President Donald Trump has accused the Central American country that he is charging excessive counts to use his passage.
Trump last month said Trump, “If both theory, moral and legal, the gesture of this magnificent gesture is not followed, then we will know that the Panama Canal will come back to us, and without question,” Trump ” Said last month.
Mulino has dismissed Trump’s threat that the US withdraws the control of the canal, which he created on a large scale. The US administered the region to the region of passing for decades.
But the US and Panama signed with a pair in 1977, which paved the way for the canal to the full Panamanian control. The United States handed over it in 1999 after the Joint Administration period.
