Manuel Noriega
Manuel Noriega was a Panamanian military officer and politician who served as the de facto ruler of Panama from 1983 until his overthrow by U.S. forces in 1989. Initially a U.S. ally, Noriega's involvement in drug trafficking and his increasingly authoritarian rule led to a severe deterioration in U.S.-Panama relations, culminating in a military invasion by the United States.
