Panama, afaik doesn’t get paid. Just gets continued invasion threats no matter how much they bend over.
El Salvador could double its GDP if they can just keep 1.75M prisoners alive. ($35B/year)

Shipping volume is slower due to drought/global warming. China has proposed constructing a railway to increase shipping volume and allow bigger ships on each side of the railway. The threats to Panama are also related to making sure Panama stays as poor as possible, and their government so far is showing US subservience with nothing in return.
Subservience? Maybe in the past, but right now they’re not aligning with Trump
Panama agreed to sell Canal/Chinese ownership of ports along canal to Blackrock. They agreed to receive deportations from US. Afterwards, Trump ordered US military to draw up invasion plans on Panama. Since, Panama has made BS allegations that Hong Kong company owning ports failed to fully pay for stuff. Panama is licking the diaper harder than Columbia. Both licking harder than rest of world.
Columbia to Venezuela would be an alternate route for railway.
