Panama no longer needs aid from US, Obama rules

The president of the United States, Barack Obama, has acknowledged thelp from the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, is no longer necessary for Panama.

USAID is leaving Panama after 50 years of financial cooperation, during which it helped with about $1.2 billion.
