Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino on March 20 said that he didn't place any value on reports the US military is looking into options for ensuring full US access to the Panama Canal, since these reports came from unnamed sources. Earlier this week, two US officials, speaking anonymously, told Reuters that the Pentagon had been instructed to evaluate options, amid President Donald Trump's repeated assertion to "take back" Panama's key global shipping route.
