DPW was not going to BUY any of our PORTS. They were going to LEASE a limited number of TERMINALS. Meanwhile, the US of A would continue to be fully in charge of security of our PORTS. Please, if you want to engage in a debate on this get your facts straight. You must be getting your information from Hannity.
Yeah, that's like saying the Philadelpha Phillies don't really own their baseball team because the MLB (Major League Baseball) REALLY has DEFACTO control over the teams and can nix and/or approve anything the Phillies front office wants to do.
As for your comment on the difference between terminals and ports, please dont be so condenscending.
Anyone who owns a terminal has control over which ships come to that terminal, and control over what cargo is removed, when and where, and who works at that terminal.
So don't give me this baloney that a terminal owner/operator is simply some innocent entity which has nothing to do with shipping goods into the USA, etc.
