The country has made $4.75 billion from the Panama Canal since taking it over a decade ago, more than twice what it received in the 85 years the U.S. ran the waterway, the operating authority said Wednesday. Today marks the 10th anniversary of the handover of the canal by the U.S., which opened the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific in 1914.
