Donald Trump has claimed that China is trying to take over the Panama Canal, renewing his criticism of the US decision to transfer control of the strategic waterway to Panama. Speaking in North Dakota, Trump said Washington should never have given up the canal and vowed not to let Beijing expand its influence there.

As geopolitical competition intensifies, the canal has once again become a focal point in the growing rivalry between Washington and Beijing. Daniela Laurel tells you more on Firstpost Live.
