I must comprehensively reject the words of President Donald Trump.

Axar.az reports that these remarks were made by Panamanian President Jose Mulino in response to Trump's statement.

"The Canal is and will continue to belong to Panama and its administration will continue to be under Panamanian control with respect to its permanent neutrality. There is no presence of any nation in the world that interferes with our administration. The Canal was not a concession from anyone. It was the result of generational struggles that culminated in 1999, as a result of the Torrijos-Carter treaty. And, from then to date, for 25 years, uninterruptedly, we have managed and expanded it responsibly to serve the world and its trade, including the United States," he stated.

It should be noted that Donald Trump, during yesterday's inauguration ceremony, once again declared his intention to bring the Panama Canal back under U.S. control.
