this company doesn't OWN the ports, just leases them. 80% of us ports are leased by foreign companies. 99% of all ships are own by foreign companies. Would you notice the difference if a nuke goes off in the harbor or on the docks ? Foreign companies lease airport terminals in the US. How much is Citicorp is owned by the Saudis ?
