U.S. President Donald Trump has praised a deal by BlackRock to acquire a significant portion of the Panama Canal ports from Hong Kong firm CK Hutchison, claiming it as a 'reclaiming' of the Canal. This acquisition, which includes 90% ownership of the Panama Ports Company, could escalate tensions between the U.S. and Panama, leading Panamanian President Mulino to refute Trump's assertions, emphasizing the Canal’s sovereignty remains with Panama despite U.S. interests.
