China is urging Trinidad and Tobago and other countries backing the United States in the Panama Canal dispute not to be “blinded” or used to advance US interests in the escalating diplomatic standoff.
T&T has joined the US and five other countries in a strongly worded joint statement warning against what they describe as China’s “targeted economic pressure” and actions affecting Panama-flagged vessels.
However, China has fired back, calling the statement a “sheer lie.”
