The United States never controlled Panama. They invaded on December 19, 1989, and removed Manuel Antonio Noriega from power, a military dictator who has control of the country. After that they immediately put the man who had legally won the last elections as President.

Before Noriega, Panama was controlled by his former military superior, Omar Torrijos.
