US authorities consider Chinese investments to the world ports as a major national security threat.
US president administration Donald Trump intends to weaken the global network of China ports and move more strategic terminals under West control. Reuters write about this with reference to their own resources.
According to agency’s interlocutors, representatives of the Trump administration believe that the US trading armade is not good to provide material and technical support for the army during the war. Washington relying on foreign ships and ports is extreme.
The White House is considered the options, including support for private American or western companies buying Chinese promotions in ports. An example is the BlackRock investment company for the purchase of Hong Kong CK Hutchison port assets in 23 countries, including the Panama Canal.
According to resources, in addition to Panama, American officials and lawmakers are concerned about Chinese ownership of sea infrastructure, especially in Greece, Spain, Caribbean and western coastlines of the United States.
“Anxiety can use its control over these properties for spy, military advantage or violation of supplies during geopolitical crises,” said the KCS Group, the founder of the KCS Group, which specializes in risky and intelligence issues, Stewart Pul -Robbb.
The United States aims to explore the Chinese influence, especially the Greek port of Piraeus, where one of the largest Chinese port states and Cosco shipping owns 67% of port sharing.
It was noted that in August 2024, China had an investment in 129 port projects worldwide through various companies.
Remember that in 2024 China built and opened its first -first Chankai port in South America, which would be a major hub for providing Chinese goods on the continent and importing resources to China.
The United States has announced new port training camps for ships associated with China
