Geez, Whitey is spooked!!!
Tell me why now Whitey denies or otherwise puts up barrierrs to his "Free Trade" practice. How can Whitey reconcile this?
But more to the point, is the security of these ports and the cargo that transits through them now the responsibility of the companies that own and or operate the crains, ships, truck-dollies? What about all the containers coming from around the world, is each country where the containers originated, are they responsible for the secutiry of that container at the point of ladding?
Is the security of these ports handled by the companies now operating them? Does/has CSX, LMX, Burlington, Babbage, Hamilton, among others who operate at these ports and others in the U.S. inspect and or clear the contents of these inbound and outbound seafaring containers?
If the Maktum owned DP World purchase goes through, will the land belonging to the port authorities transfer to Dubai? Because of this purchase, will the longshoremen no longer be Americans?
Are any of these questions occuring to the spooked Whitey, or is he just looking and reacting to the skin color, name or ethnic makeup of the potential new owners?
As a related aside, P&O is/was a 150 year old British firm that will transfer their operations in England, the Far East and other places to DP World, why has there not been such a spooked reaction in those countries?
