My response from Chambliss:
Thank you for contacting me regarding United States
seaport operations. I appreciate hearing from you.
As you are aware, the United Arab Emirates-owned
company, Dubai Ports World (DPW), has withdrawn its bid to take
over operations at six United States seaports and will sell its share
of the acquisition of P & O Ports North America to an American
owner.
In the days shortly after DPW made its announcement, I
traveled with fellow members of the Georgia Congressional
delegation to Dubai and met with government officials as well as
representatives from DPW. I am pleased with the positive
discussions we had and believe the Prime Minister showed
tremendous leadership in urging DPW to transfer operation of the
ports to a United States-owned entity.
The U.S. has a valuable relationship with the United Arab
Emirates and I feel it is critically important that we continue our
partnership and work side by side in fighting terrorism and
cooperating on future trade agreements. We now have the
opportunity to move forward in our relationship and continue to
work together as partners on these priorities.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me. As
always, I appreciate hearing from you. In the meantime, if you
