Panama denied U.S. claims that its vessels could transit the Panama Canal for free, asserting no toll changes were made.

Axar.az, citing BBC, reports that the U.S. State Department had claimed the move would save millions, but the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) insisted it retains sole authority over fees.

During a Latin America visit, Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Panama to curb China’s “influence” over the canal, warning of U.S. action if treaty obligations weren’t met. While rejecting toll adjustments, the ACP confirmed plans to coordinate transit priority for U.S. Navy vessels.
