Secretary of State Marco Rubio concluded his first overseas trip across Latin America with several wins on immigration, including agreements from foreign governments to combat human and drug trafficking. Rubio's visit to Panama resulted in the country deciding not to renew its Belt and Road Initiative agreement with China, a significant move that could prompt other Latin American countries to reconsider their agreements with China. In Costa Rica, Rubio offered U.S. assistance in combating drug trafficking and limiting Chinese influence in the country. In El Salvador, Rubio secured an agreement from President Nayib Bukele to accept deportees of any nationality, including American criminals. Overall, Rubio's prior relationships, experience, and knowledge of the region played a significant role in his successful trip.
