20th Century Time Machine | Jimmy Carter's Remarks During the Panama Canal Treaties Signing (September 7,1977) @20thCenturyTimeMachine | Uploaded December 2017 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The Panama Treaties (Torrijos–Carter Treaties) are two treaties signed by the United States and Panama between President Jimmy Carter and General Omar Torrijos Herrera in Washington, D.C., on September 7, 1977, which abrogated the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903.
The treaties guaranteed that Panama would gain control of the Panama Canal after 1999, ending the control of the canal that the U.S. had exercised since 1903. The treaties are named after the two signatories, U.S. President Jimmy Carter and the Commander of Panama's National Guard, General Omar Torrijos. Although Torrijos was not democratically elected as he had seized power in a coup in 1968, it is generally considered that he had widespread support in Panama to justify his signing of the treaties.
