By “United States”, u will exclude Private firm headquartered in US?

Eg “Google to run Pacific port of Panama Canal” will NOT count?

Not sure I understand the criteria (which I understand come from the Kalshi market). If the US government ends up having 10% voting power in an organization that manages the canal, does it count as having control of a part of the canal?

@skibidist wouldn't count in my reading

control means the United States assumes new primary operational
authority over some part of the canal
