POTUSDJT would have had heavy lift helicopters and/or big mobile cranes on the way as soon as he heard about it.

Just unload everything on the ground and let the Egyptians have it all... (Hey, what’s this?) Lloyd’s of London or whichever insurance company evens everything out and meanwhile the canal is open.

Trump knows all the best people for that kinda stuff.

heavy lift helicopters

This doesn't exist. You have any idea how heavy these containers are? People here are underestimating the sheer size and volume of these containers. They are thinking in terms of Lego pieces. You need specialized crane units.

The US has no helicopters that can lift a loaded 40’ shipping container. Even the Chinook-F can only lift about 25K, and that if you have next to no fuel. The Russians do have a couple that can.
