President-elect Donald Trump hammered on Panama again in a Truth Social post Wednesday afternoon, as he announced his nominee for ambassador to the Central American country.
Trump had declared last weekend that the Panama Canal should be returned to the United States if Panama doesn’t stop ripping off the U.S. with their exorbitant fees just for ships to pass through.
On Christmas Day, Trump wrote:
I am pleased to announce that Kevin Marino Cabrera will serve as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Panama, a Country that is ripping us off on the Panama Canal, far beyond their wildest dreams.
Kevin is a fierce fighter for America First principles. As a Miami-Dade County Commissioner, and Vice Chairman of the International Trade Consortium, he has been instrumental in driving Economic growth, and fostering International partnerships. In 2020, Kevin did an incredible job as my Florida State Director and, this year, advanced our MAGA Agenda as a Member of the RNC Platform Committee.
Few understand Latin American politics as well as Kevin – He will do a FANTASTIC job representing our Nation’s interests in Panama!
Cabrera responded to Trump’s statement, writing, “Thank you, President Trump! 🇺🇸 I’m humbled and honored by your nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Panama. Let’s get to work!”
Thank you, President Trump! 🇺🇸
I’m humbled and honored by your nomination to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Panama.
Let’s get to work! pic.twitter.com/p1N8v3YYLJ

Cabrera had posted a photo of himself with Trump when he made a stop at Miami’s famous Cuban restaurant, Versailles, in June 2023.
