Thanks Jimmy for giving Panama back to the "Panamanians" so that Latin America would finally start to love us.
Why the Colombians make a huge stink about that is hard to understand.
First I’d heard about the option for another 99 years....
On February 26, 1904, the Isthmian Canal Convention was proclaimed. In it, the Republic of Panama granted to the United States in perpetuity the use, occupation, and control of a zone of land and land under water for the construction, maintenance, operation, sanitation, and protection of the canal.
