I think one thing which hasn't been mentioned is that the US is not simply telling the Brits that they are no longer working these US ports and that work will now be handed over to the UAE. But rather, it is UAE buying out this company.
Secondly, the UAE has been one of our strongiest allies in the middle. Not only do they have stakes in many US companies such as Boeing, but let me also mention that the US has sold the UAE 80 of THE most advanced and latest F-16s on the planet. No other nation includig the US has this Block of F-16s.
