The Panama Canal’s future security may depend less on scrutinizing foreign presences and more on rekindling the kind of robust American partnership that made the Canal’s success possible in the first place.

The canal was constructed by the U.S. in the early 1900s, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and ceded back to Panama by former President Jimmy Carter following the signing of two treaties in 1977.
