the panama canal. senator marino suggested we open the hearing by playing van halen and panama. we may not do that. between the american construction of the panama canal , the french effort to build a canal, and america's triumphant completion of that canal the major infrastructure projects across panama cost more than 35,000 lives. the final decade of work on the canal the united states spent nearly $400 million, the equivalent to more than $15 billion today. the panama canal proved a truly invaluable asset, sparing both cargo ships and warships the long journey around south america. when president carter given away to panama urchins were puzzled, confused, and many outraged. with the passage of time, many have lost sight of the canals importance to national security and to the u.s. economy. not president trump. when he demanded fair treatment for american ships and goods, many in the media stopped. the panama canal was not just given away. president carter struck a bargain, he made a treaty. president trump is making a serious argument that treaty is being violated right now.

panama and panama alone would control that canal? prof. kontorovich: certainly that is an action we can take to enforce the treaty and enforce our understanding of the treaty. that is an action we can take even without the treaty. to the extent the united states considers the chinese operation facilities around the canal to be against its interests, it can certainly condition aid and economic relationships on the exclusion of china. the united states has typically not work to way and that may be one of the reasons why china has basically made inroads everywhere. but for that we don't even need the treaty. certainly it could consider the treaty to be violated. measures like that are short of the armed forces authorized by the treaty. sen. blackburn: let me interrupt you because i do want to move on. i think that as you look at how china has used the belt and wrote initiative and we have talked some about that this morning, we know that they have pushed the digital yuan. i'm concerned that given their control over much of that infrastr

panama is a neutral country. but there are other things, for example, the that'd be in depth. that is the which, you know, is the other side of the pacific side, or rather the atlantic side of the, of the panama, is border with columbia. and from there, thousands and thousands of on documented migraines, including drug traffickers come through. they go through panama, they have expedited passage through here, and they make it all the way to the us border. the united states could be given or could be asking for much more control of that, that in gap, they also, it wouldn't be asking for more intelligence intelligence that has to do, perhaps with china, but also with drug trafficking and the like. so there was a list of things, but they're keeping it very close to their chest right now. we should know a little later when this is over, what was agreed to. all right, thank you so much to latin america editors and let's see a newman now. the trump administration is directed border enforcement officers to re migrant co

largely built the canal, then handed it back to panama because it's in panama back in 1999, with the understanding the canal would be open to all. donald trump has said it's operated by the chinese. it's not. but there are legitimate concerns over costs and fees and the presence of the chinese enough to cause america to resort to violence. well, one of the republican guest experts said it would be within the treaty's language. it was clear that the treaty was understood as giving both sides separately, the right to resort to use armed force to enforce the provisions ofhe treaty. and it's not so surprising when one understands that the united states made an extraordinary concession to panama by transferring this canal, which the united states built at great expense and maintained and operated to panama gratis. other news from washington. president trump has ordered the u.s. government to suspend all loans and grants. what that means is fairly unclear. even agencies that hand out money to americans are trying to figure it out. transportation. education. here's the order. it says, quote
