Relations between Panama and the United States have been conflictive since the first days of the implementation of the Hay-Bunau Varilla Treaty. On June 24, 1904, the United States government implemented the Dingley tariff, which took away the ports of Cristóbal and La Boca from the Republic of Panama. In this sense, it established post offices and customs that harmed Panamanian trade. From then on, Panama’s struggle has always been arduous and constant and has not yet ended, even though 25 years ago Panama received the Canal. This investigation analyzes the origins of the Dingley tariff and its repercussions for Panamanian society. The Panamanian protests and the signing of the Taft agreement as a temporary measure, while the work on the Canal was being completed. It also explains that, in 1923, the United States Secretary of State requested its elimination because the canal had already been opened to world trade and the reactions of the Panamanian government at that time.
