The Canal is Panamanian, period,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mulino recalled the moments that the Central American country &#8220;has suffered&#8221; in its relationship with the United States regarding the interoceanic canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Several treaties were added to the 1903 one in terms of economic aid, economic payments that the old Canal Commission of Panama, which was a federal entity attached to the U.S. President, made to us,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was a pittance of what we were paid as a country until 1999,&#8221; said the Panamanian president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The canal remained under the control of the United States until the Torrijos-Carter Treaties expired on Dec. 31, 1999, when the United States returned the complete administration of the canal to Panama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mulino made it clear that he will wait until the new U.S. government takes office on Jan. 20, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;At this moment, Mr. Trump is not president nor does he have any government. So I will wait until Jan. 20 to have a government in front of me with which I can talk about this and many issues that interest Panama on the bilateral agenda,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding the possibility of reducing tolls for U.S. ships in the future, Mulino said, &#8220;no, because in the canal the tolls are not made at the whim of the president or the administrator, there is an established process for setting tolls that is a public and open process.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PANAMA CITY, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) &#8212;
