The United States ‌is encouraged by the recent Panamanian ⁠Supreme Court's decision ruling that port concessions to China are ​unconstitutional, U.S. Secretary of State ‍Marco Rubio said in a post on X ⁠on ‌Friday.

Panama's ⁠Supreme Court has annulled key ‍port contracts held by a subsidiary ​of Hong Kong-based CK ⁠Hutchison, leaving the future ownership ⁠of some Panama Canal operations unclear and possibly ⁠upsetting its plans to sell ⁠some ‌terminals.
