It's about politics. You know how I know that? The UAE bought Doncasters, a UK manufacturing company with nine plants in the US, in February.

Imagine. A UAE company now owns plants that make US military equipment.
There was nary a peep in the press, and nary a peep on FR.
Everybody was too preoccupied with illegals to notice.
