China’s state-owned shipping giant Cosco aims to secure at least 20%-30% stake in a $23 billion ports deal involving strategic assets in the Panama Canal, as Beijing moves to renegotiate the terms of a sale previously praised by U.S. President Donald Trump, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
