U.S. warns Peru about Chinese port project, sparking diplomatic tensions

The United States has issued a direct warning to Peru, suggesting the country could lose its sovereignty due to a major Chinese port project called Chancay. The Chinese Embassy in Peru has strongly condemned the U.S. statements, calling them false claims intended to smear the project.

Separately, President Donald Trump is planning to gather Latin American leaders in Florida in March, ahead of a reported trip to China.
