“Where we live”
In Op-ed for the magazine Wall Street Journal, Rubio said that the trip is part of an innovation of American priority priorities.
“For many reasons, the US foreign policy has long been focused on ourselves to other regions. As a result, we lost problems, lost and forgotten members,” he said. “It ends now.”
The Tammy Bruce Department spokesperson said the closeness of the United States region was an important factor for the first trip to Rubio.
“The matter is the matter, which is where we live. This is who we are,” he said. “This is not only wanting to have new collaborations, that’s always good, but what it means to have a long relationship with the closest people.”
These relationships are essential to meet the security safety safety and deportation plans of the Trump, Rubio stated.
“The role of diplomacy is essential. We must work with countries of origin and to avoid more migrant flow and accept the return of citizens illegally in the US.
Collaboration and co-education
However, countries over his career have been very cooperative until now with the administration, other countries in the Rubio region will certainly doubt.
Guatemala, for example, hundreds of migrants have brought to military aircraft since Trump, and the leadership of the country has been signposted to accept deportations from other nationalities.
Meanwhile, Mexico, the most important colleague to handle illegal immigration, has been much more tempting.
Claudia Sheinbaum said the migrants of other countries, but Mexico had been quiet when Mexico accepted more than 4,000 deportations and while the “great majority” was Mexican, others were not.

However, they have signaled to be the position of the country’s position of the country. The country’s foreign minister wrote in X that the government is in the process of launching a program to return to the so-called “brother,” migrants.
The Trump Administration also has premature success in supervision countries in the pressure countries. The threat of commercial war against Colombia had the opportunity to land on its government to land in its territory.
“This administration, President Trump, sends a message sent by the Secretariat Rubio. They say what they say,” Mauricio Claver-Caron, Special Latin American envoy.
Claver-Caron also suggested the smoother diplomatic tactics, saying, trying to repeat the migrants that travel around the American government traveling with the Government of Costa Rica.

“President Trump exported to the United States and did not export so unconditionally and without conditioning.” Grenell said, sent to special missions, to release American wars held in the country of Maduro.
“Direct threat” China
Beyond immigration, Claver-Caron said that Beijing’s influence in Central America will also be a big part of the trip to Rubio, but is expected to be at the first station in Panama at the Secretary’s first station.
Trump has presented complaints related to the operation of the channel crossing the country. The American ships claimed to be exceeded American, which controls the first US road to the first “back” in its inaugural address.
Rubio has made a more measured approach when discussing Panama canal, saying, Trump is legitimate concerns about water, especially in terms of companies controlled by Beijing.
“If the government says the government in China to turn off the Panama channel,” Rubio must say in a conversation with Thursday. “It’s a direct threat.”

He continued to say that Rubio could not follow the dynamic.
“We didn’t have a channel paid in the National States of the United States and used it as a weapon against us. That can’t happen,” he said.
But before the visit of the Rubio, President Jose Raul Mulino Panama said the thought that can entertain the channel control.
“It’s impossible,” Mulin said at a press conference on Thursday. “I can’t negotiate, and much more open, the trading process over the channel. This is sealed. The channel is Panama.”
