The Trump administration issued a stark warning on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, expressing concern that China's growing influence could jeopardize Peru's sovereignty, particularly through its control of critical infrastructure. This warning followed a Peruvian court ruling that limited local regulators' oversight of a Chinese-built mega-port.
The U.S. government's concerns centered on China's increasing presence in Peru, specifically regarding the $1.3 billion deepwater port in Chancay, north of Lima, the nation's capital. According to The Associated Press, the warning was a direct response to a court decision that restricted the oversight of the Chinese-funded project.
