Ecuador is the Spanish word meaning Equator. Ecuador has the the Equator running right through it. Panama is just north of Colombia, which is just north of Ecuador so it is the next closest country to the equator. Puerto Rico is Part of the United States but assuming that Puerto Rico is being treated separately, and the actual "Lower 48" US States is what is meant by The US. Puerto Rico is next. Then the US.
