Recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43420421/marco-rubios-panama-visit-will-trumps-aggressive-rhetoric-lead-to-war-or-diplomacy">statements</a> by President Donald Trump regarding potential changes in the status of the Panama Canal have raised concerns about possible impacts on various stocks and exchange-traded funds. After all, some 4% of global trade passes through the canal, with more than 70% of that traffic bound for or coming from the U.S., <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-panama-canal-development-what-it-means-7c5dc870">according</a> to the Wall Street Journal.



What Happened: On Sunday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panama&#8217;s President José Raúl Mulino that Washington will &#8220;take measures necessary&#8221; if Panama does not immediately take steps to put an end to what Trump&nbsp;considers China&#8217;s influence and control over the Panama Canal.



Following the talks with Rubio, who is on a tour of Central America, Mulino signaled he would review agreements involving China and Chinese businesses. Since Trump took office, he has reiterated his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42639737/trumps-call-to-reclaim-panama-canal-sparks-backlash-every-square-meter-belongs-to-panama-says-president-mulino" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">threat to forcibly retake the Panama Canal</a>, which generates some $2.5 billion in annual revenue for Panama.



As a critical conduit for international maritime trade, any changes to its operations could naturally affect companies involved in shipping, logistics and transportation.



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Which Companies Might Be Affected? Quite A Few</h1>



Let's start with the shipping-owning company SFL Corporation Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFL#NYSE">SFL</a>), which is engaged in the ownership and operation of vessels and offshore-related assets. There are two others that could see changes: Costamare Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMRE#NYSE">CMRE</a>), which owns and charters container ships, and Navios Maritime Holdings (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NMPGY#NYSE">NMPGY</a>), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels.



Next, we have the railway companies that provide freight services across the U.S. These include CSX Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSX#NASDAQ">CSX</a>), Norfolk Southern Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>), Union Pacific Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNP#NYSE">UNP</a>), Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CP#NYSE">CP</a>) and the Canadian National Railway Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNI#NYSE">CNI</a>).



Now let's look at the ETFs that focus on all of the above — shipping, air freight and the courier industries.



U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEA#NYSE">SEA</a>), Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BDRY#NYSE">BDRY</a>) provides exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures and SPRD S&amp;P Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTN#NYSE">XTN</a>), which represents the transportation segment of the S&amp;P Total Market Index ("S&amp;P TMI") designed to&nbsp;track the broad U.S. equity market.
