The Panama Canal is considered a key national asset of the United States because it plays a critical role in the U.S. economy and national security. The secure Panama Canal is critical to the rapid deployment of U.S. commerce and naval forces from the Atlantic to the Pacific, greatly reducing transit times to U.S. ports.
The United States is the canal’s largest user, with more than 70% of traffic traveling to and from U.S. ports. Considered one of the wonders of modern times, the Panama Canal opened 110 years ago and was built at great cost to the United States – 38,000 Americans died from mosquito infections in the jungle during construction. Teddy Roosevelt was President of the United States at the time of its construction, and he understood the importance of naval power and trade.
When President Jimmy Carter foolishly gave away the canal for $1 while he was in office, it was only for Panama to administer, not for China or any other country. Nor was Panama ceded in order to impose exorbitant tolls and fees on the United States, the U.S. Navy, and companies doing business in our country.
Our navy and commerce have been treated very unfairly and unfairly. Considering the extraordinary generosity the United States has shown to Panama, the fees Panama is charging are outrageous. This complete ‘rip-off’ of our country will stop immediately. The United States has a stake in the safe, efficient, and reliable operation of the Panama Canal, and this has always been understood. We will never let the canal fall into the wrong hands! This is not given for the benefit of others, but simply as a symbol of cooperation between us and Panama.
If the moral and legal principles of this generous transfer are not respected, we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to us in full and without objection. Panamanian officials, please take note of this!
