Trump sent on Tuesday announced on Tuesday for a consortium conducted by the US BLACKROCK INC investment management company management. In order to buy a control stake in a company held by a Chinese group operating ports on both ends of the Panama Channel.
Panama claims that he has complete control of the channel and that the work of the Honf Congo’s headquarters did not amounted to Chinese control over the waterways, and that the sale of a company based in the US would not represent any US “return” channel. The Panaman government called sales on Tuesday with a private transaction.
Mulino rejected Mulino in a message published on Wednesday that the deal had come for pressure in the United States. “I reject on behalf of Panama and all Panamanians, this new suppression of truth and our dignity as a nation,” he wrote. He accused Trump of “lying again.”
Trump was talking about receiving the Panaman channel again from his campaign, claiming that the US had never had to transfer control of Panamani and that they were now overwhelmed for use.

“The cooperation between our governments is through clear understanding in terms of the question of mutual interest,” Mulino wrote. “It has nothing to do with the” channel return “or the outline of our national sovereignty.”
In the application, CK Hutchison Holding said on Tuesday that he would sell all the shares at Hutchison Port Holdings IU Hutchison Port Group Holdings to a Blackkock Consortium in a contract worth almost $ 23 billion, including 5 billion USD debt.
The agreement must be approved by the Panama Government.
The United States built a channel in the early 1900s because they sought ways to facilitate the transit of commercial and military vessels between its shores. Washington left the control of the water trip to Panama on December 31, 1999, under a contract signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977. Trump claimed that Carter “stupid” gave the channel.
Frank Sixt, Director of the CC KOA Hutchison, said in a statement that the transaction was “the result of a fast, discreet but competitive process in which numerous offers and terms were received.”
“I would like to emphasize that the transaction is a purely commercial nature and completely unrelated to the recent reports of political news concerning Luka Panama,” Sixt said.
