To certain extents, I think the government has rights of expropriation of land in other countries too. Sometimes you can sue the government for it too. It's a messy biz.
??? Damn that's the first I've heard of that. I wonder if that's so the government could justify pushing around native american revervations, or taking places like Hawai'i into the States? I can't imagine many Countries would willingly allow the US govt to just take their shit
They aren't saying the us government can take land in like France whenever. But like Canada has expropriation laws available where if needed Canadian land can be seized from the land owner, usually with compensation.
This is often done for things like infrastructure, highways and such. Turns it from needing the owner to be willing to sell into "we are buying this land now, heres what we think the land was worth"
I'm talking about the respective government of the country in question, not the US government...
