Panama complains to UN over Trump canal threat
The missive, distributed to reporters on Jan. 22, urges Guterres to refer the matter to the U.N. Security Council, without asking for a meeting to be convened.
Trump, in his inaugural address on Jan. 20, repeated his complaint that China was effectively "operating" the Panama Canal through its growing presence around the waterway, which the United States handed over at the end of 1999.
"We didn't give it to China, we gave it to Panama. And we're taking it back," Trump said.
Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino hit back that the canal was not a gift from the United States during a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
