Yes, I would argue that ports should be all American owned. Or at the very least, only very strong, time tested allies should own them (like the UK or Israel).

As far as I know the US ports are all American owned, we're talking about managing the operations, not ownership. We're also talking about foreign companies owning the contract to manage the operations. The feet on the ground at US ports (as far as I know) are probably 100% unionized Americans. So it'w ownership of operations contracts that is causing this uproar, not ownership of facilities or even foreign workforce.

So lets assume you think all US ports should be operated by US companies - is that what you meant to say? If so, do you have any knowledge of the port operation industry and the implications of zero foreign operations of US ports, or are you advocating policy first and waiting to see what the implications are later?
