" Treasury runs the 12-member foreign investment committee that includes officials from the departments of Defense, Justice, Commerce, State and Homeland Security. The review also included an assessment from U.S. intelligence agencies, the department said."

If we had no dissenters out of those groups who know far more than we about the firm and the actual contract, then I am more comfy about it. We either trust these people over Schumer and Clinton or we do not. No, I do not have the warm fuzzies about UAE but I have not had an inclination to believe anything Schumer or Clinton say either.

I don't care if it's owned by the Canadian government, I just don't like government-owned companies, regardless of the country, getting involved in our ports.

It was conservatives like Savage who began raising the issue and for good reason, it's a bad idea. The fact some democrats are agreeing is beside the point.

There are alot of Republicans who are standing side by side with Schumer. This is not a Democrat/Republican issue.
