U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the conflict with Russia has set Ukraine back 100 years. 

Rubio also said:  

US Secretary of State Rubio preparing justification claimed that China allegedly owns a company that could close the Panama Canal in the event of threats from the United States:

 "There is a company in Hong Kong that operates two ports at the Atlantic and Pacific entrances to the canal. Rubio said that is a risk to the United States because it will be doing the bidding of the Chinese government.

If the Chinese government tells them to close the Panama Canal, they will be forced to do so. I have no doubt that they have a contingency plan in place. That is a direct threat.

The canal is already in Chinese hands, and the US authorities will resolve this issue in the near future."
