they want to invest money. McDonalds makes plenty of profits. So do the casinos. So does Applebees.

Are any of those companies up for sale? If so, is there a corresponding company in the UAE which does the same operation?

only ports and companies that make defense components are profitable, and therefore worthy of investment by the UAE?

Or, instead, the more likely reason is that the company from the UAE, which deals in the port business, purchased a company which had global port interests around the world. Shocking I know, a company buys a company which deals in the same kind of business.

if you are so wise, tell us why they want to buy a US company that makes turbines for military engines? what interest could they possibly have in that?

Money

Answer me this question. Should the US block container ships from entering US ports which came from the ports of Germersheim in Germany, Constanta in Romania, Puerto Cabello in Venezuela, Puerto Caucedo in the Dominican Republic, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Cochin and Visakha Patnam in India, Djibouti in Djibouti, Adelaide in Australia, Yantian, Shanghai Ji Fa and Tiajin in China and three ports from Hong Kong?

up for sale? they are publicly traded, the UAE could begin a campaign to acquire them (hostile or otherwise) any time they wanted.

yes, with respect to DPW - they want ports. that's not our problem. just because they "want" ports, doesn't mean we have to give them anything they want. they like manhattan real estate too, they own some prime locations, I could care less. does that mean that if tommorrow, the UAE wanted to buy the world trade center site lease from Silverstein, that CFIUS should approve the deal?
