Panamanian President JosΓ© RaΓΊl Mulino dismissed US President-elect Donald Trump's unfounded allegation that Chinese troops are “operating the Panama Canal”.
This comes after Trump accused the Panamanian administration of “ripping off” the US at Panama Canal.
Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump mockingly extended Christmas greetings to “the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal” and “making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in ‘repair’ money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about anything.”
Calling Trump's allegation “nonsense”, the Panamanian President told reporters in Panama City that there is “absolutely no Chinese interference”, as per the UK Independent.
“There is not a single Chinese soldier in the canal. For the love of God, you are free, the whole world is free, to visit the canal if you please,” he stated.
