There is no danger in exploring a purchase of the Panama Canal, Rep. Dusty Johnson said during an appearance on“I don’t know if this is a good idea, and I don’t know if we can get it done, but what’s the danger in exploring it?” he asked. “That’s what I just I don’t understand about the left. They have had this alarmism and this pearl-clutching.”
“It is not dangerous to go ask somebody whether or not they’re interested in selling you something when that kind of negotiation goes on every single day,” he said, explaining when he was in business, he would prompt discussions even “when the other person said at the start of the negotiations they weren’t interested in a deal.”
“We saw traffic in the Suez Canal fall by 65 percent because of the uncertainty created by the intermittent Houthi attacks and with the China military increasingly wanting a larger presence in the canal. It may well be that Panama does not want to see that kind of drop off in traffic. That would have a devastating impact on their economy and on their budget,” he said.
“And anytime he says anything — I mean, I’ll just give you one example. He talked about moving our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem… the left said, Oh my gosh, that was going to kill millions of people. It would destabilize the Middle East. It would create this unbelievable war. And of course, he made the change, and none of that happened,” he said.
