Good as long as it's shot down?

These containers are loaded in all parts of the world. These containers are then transported by land in all parts of the world to some foreign port. The foreign port(terminal) operator then loads these containers on to some foreign owned steamship. This foreign owned steamship after possibly making stops in other foreign ports finally arrives at one of the American ports in question and pulls into the terminal.

All is "good" so far right?

But hold on now. We've got this UAE terminal company who is going to move these container a total distance of a few hundred feet from the ship to the truck under the control of the US CBP and all hell breaks loose.

Never mind that these containers were loaded by a bunch of foreigners. Never mind that these containers were trucked by foreigners. Never mind that these containers passed through some foreign export terminal, traveled on some foreign steamship and sit -- *boom* -- right at the shoreline of Newark, Baltimore, New Orleans and all the other ports.

It's the moving of these containers a few hundred feet under the domain of U.S. CBP agents from ship to truck by a company that is UAE owned that's the problem and gosh darn-it Schmucky, Hillary and Peter (Superbowl-buds-with-Bubba) King is gonna fix it all.
