Mayor Mayer Mizrachi says the situation in Iran is proof why America needs allies who control global trade gateways and manage them responsibly. Panama has earned its place as America's most reliable ally in that equation by managing the canal responsibly and rejecting outside interference. When one gateway closes, the world needs another it can trust and Panama has become that gateway.
