The law here is mute. You mean "moot", and no it is not. CFIUS has jurisdiction to review foreign acquisitions that involve the transfer of domestic infrastructure and contractual possessory rights. CFIUS didn't conduct some kind of recreational or rogue review of this transaction.
The notion that the US has no means to review a transaction between foreign entities that effects the transfer of domestic infrastructure, and to halt such a transfer if necessary, is absurd. Its called sovereignty.

I meant mute as in silence not moot as in having nothing to do with it. I believe in your 2nd para and review and sovereignty. My point was that the law that was posted as a reference was the incorrect law.

Only problem of course is their is no transfer of infasture as the Port Deal Hysterics know. Leasing a port terminal is NOT transfer of infrastructure. The local Port Authority still holds title. The leases have to be renewed. More deliberate obfuscation from the Port Deal Hysterics.
