Background and Context 🌎

The Panama Canal, an artificial waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, was a significant point of contention between the US and Panama. Under President Carter, the US pursued treaties related to its control and operations.

Why Did Carter Pursue the Panama Treaties? 📜

  • Political Precedents
    • Example: President Johnson initiated treaty discussions after anti-US protests in Panama (1964).
    • Nixon and Panama signed a "Joint Framework of Principles" in 1974.
    • The Linowitz Report suggested a treaty revision to Carter.
  • US Image
    • Carter didn't label previous arrangements as 'colonial', but believed many saw it that way.
    • Real-world example: Imagine someone wearing an old, outdated fashion— that's how the US looked to others in Latin America.
  • US-Latin American Relations
    • Carter believed the treaties would foster cooperation, not confrontation.
    • Example: Think of a neighborly dispute over a tree. Solving it amicably can prevent further problems!
  • Defence
    • The real threat? Panamanian resentment.
    • Even by the 1950s, the canal couldn't accommodate larger US warships.
    • Real-world example: It's like a two-lane road unable to handle modern, wide trucks.
  • Domestic Support
    • Major businesses supported the treaties.
    • However, there was a fear the treaties favored Wall Street.
