Once again Amir Oren, Analyst blames President Trump, but, he has being working with the UAE for sometime – 15 May 2017 – His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, met today with US President Donald Trump at the White House. The leaders reaffirmed the close UAE-US security partnership and committed to intensify the fight against extremism. They also discussed mutual concerns and responses to Iran’s destabilizing interference in the affairs of regional states.
Amir Oren, Analyst blames President Trump for lack of arms sales to the UAE and Gulf States, he wants America to just sell its advanced military technology without checks and balances. Clearly he does not take into consideration Israel’s security. He rather just bad mouth President Trump
