You may have a business deal here, but this canal is our country.
It's part of our security and defense.
That's what we're doing.
And by the way, here it is.
Balboa is the entrance on the Pacific Ocean.
See the map there?
And I'm glad Pat asked for this.
And then Cristobal is the one that's on the Atlantic Ocean.
He would have supported the economic needs of Panama, but kept control of the canal that we built.
He would have done that, in your opinion.
He would have helped.

What can he do now?
Well, I think what he can do now is I think we are very close.
My understanding and what we've heard from people is that we are very close to the people in Panama.

This is a big deal.
Well, most people don't realize, and I think we can say the number right, this is a top five international deal on the president's desk.
We can say that much.
