Mario Díaz-Balart U.S. House of Representatives from Florida | Official U.S. House Headshot
Mario Díaz-Balart, a seasoned politician representing Florida's 26th District in the U.S. Congress since 2003, recently shared his thoughts on various issues through a series of tweets. His statements addressed international relations and domestic policies.
On February 3, 2025, Díaz-Balart congratulated Secretary Rubio for his successful trip to Panama. He expressed concerns about Communist China's influence in the Panama Canal, stating it as "a serious threat to the waterway and a clear violation of the U.S.-Panama neutrality treaty." He emphasized that "this is unacceptable."
In another tweet on the same day, Díaz-Balart reiterated his congratulations to Secretary Rubio for the trip to Panama but did so in Spanish. He again highlighted China’s growing influence as "una amenaza seria para esta vía marítima y una clara violación del tratado de neutralidad entre EE. UU. y Panamá," emphasizing "esto es inaceptable."
Later that day, Díaz-Balart mentioned his appearance on "This Week in South Florida" with Glenna Milberg where they discussed tariffs, immigration, and Guantanamo Bay. He noted this engagement with an "ICYMI" post highlighting these topics.
