Summary

Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino firmly rejected any negotiations over U.S. control of the Panama Canal, responding to Trump’s past remarks about reclaiming it.

He aims to use U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s visit to focus on shared interests like migration and drug trafficking.

The U.S. relinquished control of the canal in 1999 under a treaty signed by President Jimmy Carter.

        “Richest third” is a useless division.

        You pretty need to have some equity in a house to be in that category, and it goes all the way up to nearly half a trillion in networth. A significant portion of that “richest” third isn’t even middle class.

          Thank you. I was surprised and confused by the graph. Of course you can’t go by thirds. Income inequality is so great that this graph is practically useless. I’d like to see it split into tenths though.
