Rubio warns China after Panama ship detentions, calls hemisphere sovereignty ‘non-negotiable’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned China that «the sovereignty of our hemisphere is non-negotiable» after the U.S. and regional allies accused Beijing of detaining Panama-flagged ships in a dispute tied to canal port control.
In a joint statement with Bolivia, Costa Rica, Guyana, Paraguay and Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. said China’s actions targeting Panama-flagged vessels were a «blatant attempt to politicize maritime trade» and infringe on regional sovereignty, framing the dispute as a broader strategic test over control of one of the world’s most critical commercial arteries.
While the Panama dispute centers on shipping detentions rather than a physical blockade, critics increasingly view it alongside battles over other strategic choke points, such as the Strait of Hormuz, as part of a widening contest over whether Beijing or Washington will shape the rules governing global trade and energy corridors.

The confrontation follows Panama’s Supreme Court decision earlier in 2026 to invalidate the legal framework behind Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison’s long-held control of the Balboa and Cristobal terminals flanking the Panama Canal, a choke point that handles roughly 5% of global maritime trade.
U.S. regulators have monitored nearly 70 Panama-flagged vessels detained by Chinese authorities since March 8, according to Reuters — a surge American officials say appears designed to retaliate against Panama and pressure global shipping.
«China has used Iran to destabilize the Middle East. In effect, Iran has been China’s proxy,» China expert Gordon Chang told Fox News Digital, arguing Beijing’s actions in Panama fit a broader global pattern in which China uses economic leverage, trade pressure and regional partners to expand influence while condemning similar tactics from Washington.
Chang said Beijing is now facing growing resistance as the U.S. increasingly moves not only against China directly, but also against governments and geopolitical flashpoints he argues have strengthened Beijing’s hand.
«Trump apparently decided that he would counter this sly tactic by taking China’s proxies — Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran — off the board,» Chang said.

He also framed pressure on Iran and threats to the Strait of Hormuz as part of a larger strategic effort aimed at both Tehran and Beijing.
«Closing the Strait of Hormuz is a two-fer, starving Iran’s regime and shaking China’s already fragile economy,» Chang said. «Trump is using energy to reorder the world.»
Chang also accused Beijing of hypocrisy over trade.
«China’s Communists invented hypocrisy. Nobody does hypocrisy better than the Chinese Communists,» he said, arguing China long benefited from a global trading system it increasingly weaponized for geopolitical purposes.
«The elemental truth is that China started this cycle of action and retaliation,» Chang said. «If China had not threatened America, America would not have leaned on Panama. If America had not leaned on Panama, China would not have detained Panamanian vessels.»

China has rejected accusations that it is politicizing trade, with its foreign ministry arguing U.S. criticism reflects Washington’s own strategic ambitions around the canal.
China’s foreign ministry called the statement on Wednesday «entirely baseless and misleading», said it would take steps to safeguard China’s interests in Panama, and accused the United States of politicizing ports, according to Reuters.
«China also urges the relevant countries not to be deceived or exploited by malevolent forces,» added Lin Jian, a foreign ministry spokesperson.

Escalofriante: una mujer mató a sus hijos de 2 disparos, le mandó una foto de los cuerpos al padre y se suicidó

Una madre mató a tiros sus dos hijos pequeños, le mandó una foto de los cuerpos ensangrentados al padre y luego se quitó la vida en la ciudad de Phoenix, Arizona, en Estados Unidos.
Según informó la Policía de Phoenix, el episodio que dejó a toda una familia destruida y a la comunidad en shockocurrió en la madrugada del lunes 25 de mayo.
Andrea Davis, de 38 años, disparó y mató a sus hijos, Austin (10 años) y Andolan (2 años), dentro de su casa. Después, se suicidó.
El ataque previo y el mensaje desesperado
La secuencia de horror comenzó poco antes, en la ciudad vecina de Glendale. Allí, Andrea fue hasta el estacionamiento de un bar donde estaba su expareja y padre de los chicos, Nolan Davis, acompañado por otra mujer. Sin mediar palabra, abrió fuego contra ellos mientras estaban en un auto. La mujer que estaba con Nolan recibió un disparo en la cabeza, pero sobrevivió y está fuera de peligro. Andrea y Nolan Davis estaban en medio de un divorcio. (Foto: gentileza Fox10).
Tras el ataque, Nolan contó a la policía que recibió un mensaje de texto de Andrea, donde le advertía que iba a lastimar a sus hijos.
Minutos después, la mujer le envió una foto de las acbezas ensangrentadas de los chicos. Esa imagen fue el detonante para que las fuerzas de seguridad de Glendale y Phoenix irrumpieran en la casa, ubicada a solo tres kilómetros del bar. Andrea Davis primero le disparó a su ex y a otra mujer en el estacionamiento de un bar. (Foto: gentileza abc News).
“Como ya sabíamos que se trataba de una situación grave, los agentes forzaron la entrada a la vivienda y fue entonces cuando se encontraron con esta horrible situación”, dijo el vocero de la policía de Glendale, Jose Santiago, a Fox News.
Los agentes encontraron los cuerpos de los chicos con disparos en la cabeza junto al de la mujer.
“Es un incidente muy difícil de afrontar. Nadie quiere ver que se cause daño a los niños”, dijo la sargento Lorraine Fernández, del Departamento de Policía de Phoenix.
El dolor de un padre que lo perdió todo
La tragedia dejó a Nolan Davis devastado. Una campaña en GoFundMe, creada para ayudarlo con los gastos del funeral, lo describe como un hombre que “perdió todo: su familia, su casa y la vida que construyó durante años”.
“Austin era un chico inquieto, lleno de energía, que amaba profundamente a su papá. Andolan era el bebé más dulce, con los ojos más lindos”, escribieron en la colecta solidaria. Andrea Davis mató a sus hijos y le mandó una foto al padre. (Foto: gentileza People).
“Eran pequeños, no se lo merecían”, dijo Felicia Queen, prima de Nolan Davis. “Tenían toda una vida por delante. Y no es justo. Ni siquiera puedo imaginar por lo que está pasando mi primo ahora mismo”.
La mujer contó que la pareja ún estaba casada, pero en pleno proceso de separación. “Los papeles del divorcio estaban en trámite, hasta donde sé. Estaban separados”, agregó Felicia.
“Él era un muy buen padre. Y ella era una buena madre, así que, por favor, pase lo que pase, no la presenten como si fuera… ella hizo lo que hizo, pero no era una persona horrible. No lo era”, dijo Queen.
El círculo íntimo y la pregunta sin respuesta
Amy Bowers, la mejor amiga de Andrea, confesó que no puede dejar de pensar en los últimos minutos de los chicos. “¿Los abrazó fuerte? Eso es lo que más me duele, esos bebés. No quiero que hayan visto a su mamá de otra manera en esa última hora”, expresó, conmovida. La pareja estaba en medio de un divorcio. (Foto: gentileza abc News).
Bowers afirmó que los Davis estuvieron juntos durante 12 años y tuvieron un matrimonio estupendo hasta hace aproximadamente un año. gún dijo, una relación inapropiada entre Nolan y una compañera de trabajo hizo que Andrea “perdiera completamente la cabeza”.
“Simplemente no se sentía bien. Y ha estado pidiendo ayuda a todo el mundo. No ha sido ningún secreto”, dijo Bowers.
Una comunidad en shock y una investigación en curso
El caso conmocionó a Arizona y puso el foco en la violencia familiar y la salud mental. La policía de Glendale y Phoenix continúa investigando los detalles del hecho, mientras la familia y los amigos buscan respuestas en medio del dolor.
“Esto es traumático no solo para las familias involucradas, sino también para los propios agentes”, dijo Santiago. “Cuando uno se encuentra con una situación así, es horrible para todos. Este padre tendrá que vivir con la idea de que sus hijos ya no están y que esto fue obra de su esposa”, afirmó el vocero policial.

Clarence Thomas puts Dems on clock as Alabama GOP emergency map bid stalled

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Justice Clarence Thomas declined to immediately hand Alabama Republicans a win Wednesday, but ordered their voting rights challengers to quickly defend a court-drawn congressional map that helped Democrats flip a deep-red state House seat.
Alabama’s Republican Attorney General requested emergency relief, asking the Supreme Court to immediately revive the state’s 2023 legislature-drawn congressional map after a lower court blocked it, ruling that the state must continue using a special-master map approved by the courts that created a second Black-opportunity district and helped elect Democratic Rep. Shomari Figures in 2024.
On Wednesday, Justice Thomas, who is assigned to the 11th circuit, declined to immediately restore the 2023 congressional map but also ordered the case’s voting rights plaintiffs to provide an explanation by Monday on why that legislature-drawn map should not be used.
Thomas’s ruling is the latest in a years-long redistricting saga that was given new life following an April Supreme Court ruling that narrowed the interpretation of a provision in the Voting Rights Act used by Democrats in their redistricting fights. Prior to the April ruling, the Supreme Court upheld a challenge to the state’s 2020 census-drawn map and a court-approved special-master map preferred by Democrats was implemented, which reshaped the state’s 2nd District and flipped a solidly GOP-held seat that gave Democrats another House seat.

In its emergency application, Alabama argued an immediate stay was needed because the lower-court ruling «defies Callais, manipulates the Purcell principle, and offends the Constitution’s promise of equal protection for all.»
Alabama is leaning on the Supreme Court’s recent April ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which gave Republicans a new weapon against maps from left-wing voting rights activists by making it harder for them to force additional primarily minority districts under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The decision from the Supreme Court ultimately fueled a wave of fresh redistricting efforts in GOP-led states, including Alabama, which used the Supreme Court’s new Louisiana v. Callais ruling to ask the justices to revisit the lower-court orders blocking the 2023 legislature-drawn map.
JACKSON PROTESTS AS SUPREME COURT USES LOUISIANA GERRYMANDERING RULING TO INSTRUCT LOWER COURTS
In response to the Louisiana case’s ruling, the Supreme Court ruled earlier this month on May 11 that the lower court’s judgment blocking Alabama’s 2023 map should be vacated and sent back for another look. However, on Tuesday, the three-judge federal district court blocked the 2023 map and ordered the court-approved special master map to continue to be used, leading to Alabama’s request for emergency relief on Wednesday that was ruled on by Justice Thomas.

The timing of Thomas’ order comes as Alabama officials have already tried to prepare for a rapid switch back to the 2023 map.
After the Supreme Court’s earlier May 11 order sent the case back to the lower court, Gov. Kay Ivey called Aug. 11 special primaries for the affected 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts, saying the state was ready to move forward with its Alabama legislature-drawn map.
