Keeping our ports American?

Our ten largest ports have operators from China, Denmark, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. More than 60% of the container terminals at these ports are managed, at least in part, by foreign companies, some of whom are controlled by foreign governments.

The largest US company in these ports, SSA Marine, says,"We would be surprised if there were impacts to foreign commercial entities leasing terminals in the U.S. because of their successful track record."
