What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This resolution raises concerns about China's role in managing ports and other important infrastructure in Panama, especially near the Panama Canal. It asks Panama's government to confirm that the Panama Canal will stay neutral, as agreed in a 1977 treaty, and to end deals that let Chinese government-owned or China-based companies run these important facilities. It also calls on the U.S. government to use the treaty to protect the canal's neutrality and to create a U.S.-Panama team to watch over the canal's security and operations.
