The development follows the US president\u2019s threats to \u201ctake back\u201d the canal the US took part in constructing over unsubstantiated claims that China has too much influence there. In an agreement valued at almost $23 billion (\u20ac21.5bn), the BlackRock consortium will assume control of 43 ports in 23 countries, including Balboa and Crist\u00f3bal, which are positioned on either side of the Panama Canal. The other ports that are included in the sale are in countries such as Australia, Egypt, the Netherlands and Mexico. The deal does not include any ports in China or Hong Kong. Trump hailed the transaction during a speech to Congress on Tuesday. \u201cMy administration will be reclaiming the Panama Canal, and we&#8217;ve already started doing it,\u201d he told politicians. The US president\u2019s allies have railed in recent months against what they perceive to be Beijing&#8217;s strong presence in Panama.  Without giving evidence, Republican Senator Ted Cruz said in January that the Panama ports run by CK Hutchison Holding, a Hong Kong-based conglomerate started by the billionaire Li Ka-shing, \u201cgive China ready observation posts\u201d.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio then visited Panama in early February, warning Panamanian President Jos\u00e9 Ra\u00fal Mulino that his country had to reduce Chinese influence over the canal. Although Mulino rejected the US\u2019 claim about Beijing, his government soon announced that it was pulling out of China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative, which funds major infrastructure projects overseas. In a statement about the deal, Frank Sixt, the co-managing director of CK Hutchison, denied that the transaction occurred because of political pressure. The sale was \u201cthe result of a rapid, discrete but competitive process in which numerous bids and expressions of interest were received\u201d, he said. \u201dI would like to stress that the transaction is purely commercial in nature and wholly unrelated to recent political news reports concerning the Panama Ports,\u201c Sixt added. The BlackRock consortium includes the Swiss company Terminal Investment Limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic The US president has threatened to &#8216;take back&#8217; the Panama Canal, claiming without evidence that China was operating it.
