Subject: Why the Panama front has been quiet
Control of the ports around the canal has been under litigation.
The battle over who runs the Panama Canal ports is about to be decided
PANAMA CITY—The Supreme Court of Panama is winding up deliberations that will decide whether a Hong Kong company can run two ports at either end of the Panama Canal, a decision closely watched in Washington and Beijing.
The case carries the weight of geopolitical competition between the U.S. and China. President Trump has said he wanted to take back control of the canal, which the U.S. built in the early 20th century and handed over to Panama in late 1999. China, meanwhile, has thrown up obstacles to the sale of the canal ports and other assets operated by Hong Kong’s CK Hutchison to a group led by BlackRock and Mediterranean Shipping Co.

If the court doesn't decide in favor of the Great and Perfect Trump, he'll need to postpone the invasion of Greenland, because control of the canal will give him immediate leverage over the countries and companies that want access.
