An interesting twist.

Remains to be seen how this works out.



A consortium of investors led by the controversial firm BlackRock has reportedly agreed to buy a majority stake in the Panama Canal for $23 billion.

“The deal would bring the key ports under American corporate ownership, from Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison … BlackRock has briefed the Trump administration and Congress on the deal,” the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter. “If completed, the BlackRock deal could go a long way toward easing concerns about China’s influence over the canal.”

The move comes after President Donald Trump alleged Chinese interference with the operations of the critical shipping lane.

...

The consortium, comprised of BlackRock, Global Infrastructure Partners and Terminal Investment Limited, will acquire 90% interests in Panama Ports Company, which owns and operates the ports of Balboa and Cristobal in Panama, according to the filing.

Trump supporters met the news with mixed reactions. Conservatives have long criticized BlackRock for, among other things, abusing its market power to push leftist policies. BlackRock was also part of the Democrats’ scheme to rebuild Ukraine after its war with Russia.

No CHINA??? So Trump didn't keep China out of this?


The Panama Canal expansion project (Spanish: ampliación del Canal de Panamá), also called the Third Set of Locks Project, doubled the capacity of the Panama Canal by adding a new traffic lane, enabling more ships to transit the waterway, and increasing the width and depth of the lanes and locks, allowing larger ships to pass. The new ships, called New Panamax, are about one and a half times larger than the previous Panamax size and can carry over twice as much cargo. The expanded canal began commercial operation on 26 June 2016.

The project has:
  • Built two new sets of locks, one each on the Atlantic and Pacific sides, and excavated new channels to the new locks
  • Widened and deepened existing channels
  • Raised the maximum operating water level of Gatun Lake

Then-Panamanian President MartĂ­n Torrijos formally proposed the project on 24 April 2006, saying it would transform Panama into a First World country. A national referendum approved the proposal by a 76.8 percent majority on 22 October the same year, and the Cabinet and National Assembly followed suit. The project formally began in 2007

It was initially announced that the canal expansion would be completed by August 2014 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Panama Canal, but various setbacks, including strikes and disputes with the construction consortium over cost overruns, pushed the completion date back several times.

Following additional difficulties including seepage from the new locks, the expansion was opened on 26 June 2016. The expansion doubled the canal's capacity. On 2 March 2018, the Panama Canal Authority announced that 3,000 New Panamax ships had crossed the canal expansion during its first 20 months of operation


Who does Panama Canal belong to?

The US took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal in 1914. The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for its handover to Panama in 1977. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the Panamanian government took control in 1999
.

The Republic of Panama profits from the Panama Canal through net profits and dividends. The canal's profits are generated when revenues exceed operating, investment, and modernization costs.
 

Headlines are often misleading. And if you gave up hanging around the Low Information crowd...

I don't know if that's a good idea. A private company controlling one of the most important waterways in america?

An American company as opposed to Chinese companies. See the difference?

Trump said that the US would be taking back the Panama Canal, so we'll see how that gets done.

Just who was it who repeatedly pointed out Trumpfy and Musky Jewishness and identification with Deep State ?
So what a coincidence .

That does not suggest the move is necessarily bad .
Simply that you should keep your eyes wide open and move Brain Switch to "On" , .
 
I thought maga believed black rock was tied to assassinating Trump ..... or trying to. No one wants kitty cat lady laddie

Naughty .
Been reading Vogue again?

Butler was one of Deep State's most successful False Flags to ensure Trumpfy won .
Did they fool you like the rest of the Sheeple?
Did you think that a very naughty man had missed killing him at a Sniper's point blank range and something whizzed by his ear just when it got smeared in tomato sauce .

It was very frightening .Laughingly so .

I could be wrong, but that may be the price BlackRock pays to get away with betting on Trump's assassination
