President Trump warned in his speech before Congress that, if things do not go as he expects, he will blame Marco Rubio. Trump mentioned that they are in the process of recovering the Panama Canal, stating that they have already begun purchasing ports for that purpose.
Yesterday, in his address to Congress, President Trump reiterated his threat to recover the Canal for the United States, declaring that this process is already underway with the acquisition of strategic ports. This statement generated controversy, as the Panama Canal is not in the process of being recovered.
In response to Trump's statements, President José Raúl Mulino categorically denied the claims of the American president: "Once again President Trump is lying."
