Panama commemorated Martyrs' Day, burning an effigy of Trump amid fears over canal control.

On Martyrs' Day, Panama commemorated the 1964 protests against US control of the Panama Canal, which led to 21 deaths and eventually the canal's transfer to Panama in 1999. This year, demonstrators burned an effigy of President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to reclaim the canal. Panama's Foreign Minister emphasized Panama's control over the canal, and experts dismissed Trump's threats as unrealistic.
