The Dubai-owned company that pledged to surrender its $700 million worth of U.S. port businesses amid a furor on Capitol Hill wants to guarantee it doesn't lose money on the deal. But now that DP World is out of the political frying pan, it could find itself confronting a fire sale of its American assets.
Faced with unrelenting pressure from Congress, Dubai's ruler said DP World will transfer to an unspecified American company all U.S. port operations it acquired when it paid $6.8 billion for London-based Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co.
In its statement, DP World said its decision was based on the understanding that it will have time to coordinate the complex transfer and that "DP World will not suffer economic loss."

Two are interested. One just happens to begin with an "H" and ends in a "n".

I STILL just cannot believe that so many "conservatives" and "Republicans" willingly allowed themselves to get sucked into Hillary and Chuckie's fear mongering. They, along with the MSM, certainly won this battle. Congratulations.

You're right! This whole thing was a fiendish scheme by Karl Rover to trick the Democrats into endorsing Halliburton!
Oh, the humanity!

Why is it going to cost the taxpayer anything? It will be sold for what the market thinks its worth, no more and no less. Now if they carry the North American operations at some ungodly amt on their books, thats their problem, not mine. The value of this enterprise is not hard to figure out.
