{"Are the Saudis wanting to control our ports?"}
We have huge commercial interactions with the Saudis, and they are right here among us no doubt in sensitive places.
But this isn't about either Saudi or UAE "controlling our ports". Our own laws and our own rules and regulations and our own enforcement and security agencies "control our ports".
True under the Brit company before; will remain true under the UAE one.
That's an assumption about the saudis, unless you can point out an absolute instance. The UAE, is a fact.
Our own laws and our own rules and regulations and our own enforcement and security agencies "control our ports".
They will be privy to our security secrets. That doesn't sit well with me.
