Recently, he gained media attention for his comments on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to limit the powers of the Trump administration in imposing tariffs, which is seen as a potential relief for Panamanian exports facing a 10% tariff. Siu emphasized that the tariff was unjustly imposed, considering that Panama does not pose an economic threat to the United States, and he is optimistic about the decision's implications for trade relations between the two countries.
