Blackrock agrees to purchase Panama channel ports with Trump’s threats continuing

Blackrock, the largest asset manager in America, who holds the assets of more than $ 11 trillion, agreed to buy two perpetrators on both sides of the Panama Channel. Blackrock purchases the Hong Kong -based CK Hutchison ports in a deal worth about $ 22.8 billion.

The announcement of the deal comes as President Donald Trump threatened against Panama because of China’s participation in the channel. The president said that the United States should never be delivered to control the channel in the 1970s after building the channel in the early twentieth century. And Trump has even Proposal The channel will be taken by force.

Trump boasted in a speech to Congress Tuesday night The United States was “the restoration of Panama Channel”, without providing details about who was already buying the ports there.

“Only today, a large American company announced that it buys both ports around the Panama channel and many other things related to the Panama channel and two other channels,” Trump said.

The part you left? Blackrock is buying, a company that is not very popular at the Trump base. The extreme right is often cast a Blackrock as part of the “global” cap -dominating the world, a comment that often spoils the anti -Semitic ames about Trump’s commercial links.

“The Carter administration has been eliminated for one dollar, but this agreement was severely violated,” Trump said, referring to the 1970s. “We did not give it to China. We presented it to Panama and we return it.”

As CNN Notes, The Blackrock deal also includes interests in 199 other berths in 23 countries, although none of these ports has the same geopolitical tensions as Panama now.

The coach of CK Hutchinson, Frank Stein, said in a statement published online that the deal was the result of a quick and separate process, but a competitiveness in which many bids and expressions were received. “

“I would like to confirm that the transaction is purely commercial by its nature and has nothing to do with modern political news reports related to Panama Ports,” Sixt insisted. It should be noted that, however, the transaction is still under great care, the settlement of final documents, the regular and usual completion procedures, amendments and conditions as well as compliance by HPH with the rights of minority shareholders under the current shareholders’ agreements related to the sold HPH interests. “

Blackrock CEO Larry Fink in A. press release It was published on the Internet by CK Hutchison that it is “delighted” about investment. “This agreement is a strong clarification of the Blackrock and GIP platform and our ability to provide different investments to customers,” Fink said. “These global -level ports facilitate global growth. Through our deep connection with organizations such as Hutchison and MSC/TIL and governments around the world, we are increasingly the first call to partners looking for long -term capital. We are happy for our customers who can participate in this investment.”

Will the Blackrock buying for two Panama channels will be sufficient to satisfy Trump and prevent him from threatening the country with the military invasion? This part is not yet clear. But even if so, Trump still has many other allies who want to invade him, including Greenland, Mexico and Canada.
