PANAMA CITY (AP) — The administrator of the Panama Canal has responded to criticisms from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, denying that there is any interference from China in the canal’s operations and saying giving special privileges to any nation would only cause problems. Ricaurte Vásquez said in an interview with The Associated Press Friday that no privileges are given to any nation, and Chinese companies are not meddling in its operations. Trump has gone so far as to suggest the U.S. should take back control of the canal and he would not rule out using military might to do so.
