Why did the U.S sell the Panama Canal?

[shockedcanadian]

Seems like a really poor decision doesn't it? Surely you have the Agreement which outlines conditions which would allow America to regain ownership if they are profiting commerically or otherwise. This is so important to America that I can see a U.S president looking to reclaim this canal due to violations of the Agreement.

It was the decision of Jimmy Carter to give away our canal in Panama.

And Carter will have to answer for it soon enough as he is in hospice care and will soon have to answer for this at the judgment seat of Almighty God.

What Circle of Hell does this qualify someone for?

It's not going to happen. Get Trumps dick out of your mouth.

The canal belongs to Panama. Trump owes them money. This isn't about why or who owns the canal. It's about Trump creating a distraction, like he always does, to take the heat off his sorry ass, when he's cheating somebody out of money.

Panama should sue him, and seize any assets he has in the country.

No, China has built two ports there with a Bridge OVER the canal to follow. Educate yourself.

That canal was built by us. We spent enormous sums of money building it. We lost 30,000 lives during its construction. We have spent BILLIONS on doing maintenance on it since we gave it up. We have provided a security force to ensure that it remains safe and open for decades.

Now Panama crushes us with severely high prices. Doesnt seem fair in the least to me. I say we take it back and kill anyone who tries to stop us.

Yer answer to everything, kill...Yer God of death must be proud of yous.

It is obvious that most of the people have never had a responsible position in the private sector.

President Trump has a couple of goals in mind and he is positioning the U.S. to achieve them.

I realize that for a Democrat, this is difficult to conceive of, but trust me. In a few years, the crisis at the canal will be rectified, one way or another. Not that Trump47 will get credit for it.

I want to kill anyone who opposes us. It makes me giggle when we do that.
