Build the Suez canal?

FWIW-
I believe the British provided the funds to build the canal and the French built it.
The Russians financed and helped build the Aswan Dam which some saw as an attempt to cut Egypt's ties to the US.

And for years we were overcharged every time one of our warships transited the canal.
