Police evict Trump staff from Panama hotel amid ongoing dispute.

More than a dozen police wearing bulletproof vests entered the lobby of the Trump International Hotel in Panama on Monday morning and evicted the Trump Organization’s staff, a move that comes after weeks of simmering tensions over control of the property.

The Trump Organization manages the hotel in the 70-story tower overlooking the Punta Pacifica Peninsula and the new majority owner had gone to court in the U.S. and Panama to evict the company run by President Donald Trump’s sons. There were scuffles as police arrived to carry out the eviction, and Panamanian court officials were present.

Lake Gatun: Panama’s biodiverse, tropical escape

There’s no secret as to the location of Lake Gatun, no far away distance to travel to get there, and no shortage of traffic that passes through it. After all, Lake Gatun has been made most famous by the Panama Canal.

The large, artificial (yes, you read that right) lake is home to over 800 species of birds, hundreds of Geoffroy’s, Howler, and Capuchin monkeys, crocodiles, and a seemingly endless amount of tropical flora and fauna, right at your fingertips. This is the center of the Panama Canal, where east meets west, and you can still see some of the world’s biggest (and most famous) mega-barges pass through each and every day.
