The WSJ reported on the possible rapprochement of the CEO of BlackRock with Trump

The head of the American investment company BlackRock, Lawrence Fink, may try to get closer and establish relations with US President Donald Trump against the background of his acquisition of ports on both sides of the Panama Canal. This was reported on April 4 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

"CEOs around the world are trying to establish a relationship with President Trump. This titan of Wall Street has found a way," the newspaper writes.

Prior to that, it was reported that a consortium of investors led by BlackRock had agreed to buy controlling stakes in ports on both sides of the Panama Canal. Thus, both harbors will come under the control of American firms.

The deal is valued at $22.8 billion and also includes the acquisition of dozens of other ports around the world.
