You said -- "Boeing should be glad to be rid of them because, no doubt, down the line they'd sue Boeing for some glitch in the manufacturing of the airliners and want all their money back."
Believe me, Boeing is not going to be happy to be rid of them. They're going to be fighting hard to keep the deal by lobbying for the port deal, too. That just put Boeing and all its employees on the side of the port deal.

"Boeing is not going to be happy to be rid of them."
It's true that Boeing went in the hole after 9/11 and laid off thousands of workers, which drastically affected the
economy in this area, but they're going to have to live with the UAE's decision to pull out of the port deal...and, potentially, the loss of numerous contracts.
Money doesn't mean diddly if you're dead!
