JUST IN – Panama’s Supreme Court ruled that a Hong Kong company’s contract to run the ports at both ends of the Panama Canal is unconstitutional; advancing Trump’s “Donroe Doctrine” to block any influence by China over the strategic waterway — AP

This wasn’t just a court ruling or a legal technicality that came out of nowhere. It was the culmination of a long, quiet pressure campaign that worked through law, finance, and incentives rather than force. The fight was never about owning the Panama Canal itself..it was about control around it. Ports are where logistics, scheduling, data, and leverage actually sit. By rendering the concession unconstitutional, Panama was able to unwind Chinese linked influence while framing the move as a matter of domestic law, not geopolitical submission. That distinction is what made the outcome stick.

Zoom out and this is what modern statecraft looks like. The U.S. didn’t need to retake the canal or issue ultimatums. It shaped the environment until the preferred outcome became the least costly option for Panama. Power today is exercised through audits, contracts, courts, and capital access..long before anything shows up on a map or a battlefield. The signal here isn’t just about Panama; it’s about how strategic chokepoints are now contested quietly, at the legal and financial layer, where real control lives.
