The caption for the photo at right didn't say why the U.S. isn't helping to finance the expansion.

Just another country devastated by U.S. imperialism.
It wouldn't even exist if the U.S. hadn't stolen the land
from Colombia so we could build the canal.

The U.S. Army used it for everything it was worth,
leaving unexploded ordnance throughout
the country during it's training exorcises.

We even tolerated Manuel Noriega's drug dealing
because he furthered our "interests."
Now it is finally rid of the U.S. military,
but the Chinese are taking over.
