Panama president says Trump lied about Panama Canal’s ’reclaiming’

Trump’s comments to Congress came after a deal led by U.S. firm BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) was announced earlier Tuesday to buy most of the $22.8 billion ports business of Hong Kong conglomerate CK Hutchison, which includes assets along the Panama Canal.
