S.Res. 54 — A resolution expressing the vital importance of the Panama Canal to the United States.

This section states the sense of the Senate that (1) Americans' ingenuity and labor made the Panama Canal possible, with special regard for those who lost their lives; (2) the Panama Canal is vital to U.S. regional security, hemispheric hegemony, and economic interests; (3) Chinese-backed investments in port infrastructure and canal operations in Panama violate the Neutrality Treaty; and (4) the Trump administration should ensure the canal remains neutral and take all appropriate measures to enforce the Neutrality Treaty.
