Panama City Mayor on Why Panama Chooses America over China

Panama City Mayor Mayer Mizrachi joins PragerU CEO Marissa Streit to explain why Panama matters far more to America than most people realize. They discuss the history of the Panama Canal, America’s role in Panama’s independence, and the rise of Chinese influence across Latin America. President Trump’s focus on the canal signaled that America was finally paying attention to this important small country because of its strategic location. Mayor Mizrachi also shares his remarkable personal story of surviving illness, political persecution, and six months in a Colombian maximum-security prison before becoming the mayor of Panama City.
