Panama suspends electricity sales to Costa Rica after a widening trade dispute between the two countries. Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino announces the decision at his weekly press conference, saying Panama suspends power sales “with immediate effect” and that, for the moment, there is no electricity being supplied. Costa Rica-based reporting links the move to public comments made by Costa Rican President Laura Fernández. Both outlets describe the context as an ongoing disagreement over agricultural products, with tensions rising after Costa Rica’s statements. The announcements frame the energy suspension as a response tied to the political and trade exchange between the governments rather than to an electricity system issue. No details are provided in the excerpts on the duration of the suspension, the volume of electricity affected, or any compensation arrangements. The reports present the decision as part of a broader trade standoff in Central America, with diplomatic language emphasizing immediate action while the underlying dispute continues.
