00:00Panama's Supreme Court has pulled the plug on a contract that let a Hong Kong company
00:05run two Panama Canal ports.
00:07Hong Kong's C.K.
00:09Hutchison had run the ports for close to 30 years.
00:12The ruling is seen as a win for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has sought to bring the
00:16canal back under U.S. control.
00:18It also raises questions about a deal between Panama and China that could have kept the
00:22ports under Chinese influence.
00:24China has had a strong interest in Panama, pouring in major investments since Panama
00:29cut ties with Taiwan in 2017.
00:32Hong Kong says it rejects the Supreme Court ruling.
