Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is the Atlantic-to-Pacific waterway whose 1977 treaty negotiations with Panama's General Torrijos created a U.S. policy conflict with drug enforcement interests given Torrijos's family's alleged involvement in the cocaine trade.
The Panama Canal is a vital waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1977, the Jimmy Carter administration was determined to sign a treaty regarding the Panama Canal with General Torrijos. This determination reportedly influenced the administration's reluctance to pursue Torrijos, despite his and his family members' alleged involvement at the highest levels of the world cocaine trade.1
