They purchased P&O, not the United States government, therefore we are not reneging on anything.
They are no more entitled to operate or oversee American ports than they are to own Boeing, and we are no more obliged to agree to hand over control of our vital national assets than we were compelled to allow CNOOC to buy out Unocal.
If not WP, then who?
And BTW, for the I can't keep track of how many times, but it must be in the thousands, by now, time, DPW IS NOT GOING TO TAKE OVER CONTROL OF OPERATIONS , NOR THE OVERSEEING OF ANY AMERICAN PORT!
I suspect your tax money will have to pay them to break the lease.
Who do you suggest run these ports, once you've thrown DPW over the side?
