Arrogant a$$.
At least try to follow the story. "The deal" that Sharaf was talking about was the deal for Dubai to buy P&O, a British Co. P&O is a world-wide shipping co. They have terminal operations in many countries (all of which ship to the US ports).
Dubai is going to buy P&O whether or not the US terminals (not *ports*, TERMINALS) are included. So, the deal is done.
If, for some stupid reason (and it would be stupid), we didn't let them operate these 6 terminals, the price would be lower. The P&O shareholders would lose money, and we'd have a disruption in trade.
It's really short-sighted to allow a tantrum to disrupt our economy.
