By giving the Panama Canal back to Panama, the Soviets could have easily used Cuba to conquer and sieze the canal. If the Soviets had control over the canal then they could set up bombing bases in the Pacfic without any conflit of passage.

Signed by Jimmy Carter and Omar Torrijos of Panama on September 7, 1977, this started the process of granting the Panamanians free control of the Canal so long as Panama signed a treaty guaranteeing the permanent neutrality of the Canal. The treaty led to full Panamanian control effective from noon on December 31, 1999, and the Panama Canal Authority assumed command of the canal.
