Everyone benefits from the UAE-US arms deal, says Harp

 

UAE-US


In an interview published by Prolific Solutions on Twitter with Seth Harp, an investigative journalist for Rolling Stones magazine, he said that the United Arab Emirates is a key hub in the world's cross-border security elite, which includes Officials from all over the world.

 “The United Arab Emirates is a key hub in this world's transnational security elite that involves officials in more than just the United States,” said Harp.

 He added that buying expensive weapons from the US manufacturers makes them happy which in turn pleases the politicians and it creates a virtuous cycle.

 Everyone benefits from the UAE arms deal and the United States, and this increases the strategic relations between the two countries, as well as fighting Al-Houthi, who is a strong ally of Iran.

 He further added that Biden's recent visit, as well as arms sales, show that the United States will continue to support Saudi Arabia.

 “Biden's recent visit, and also the arms sales show that the US will continue to support Saudi Arabia, no matter what it does,” said Seth Harp.

 The Biden administration has approved massive arms sales to the United Arab Emirates to help them defend against Iran.

 The more than USD 5 billion in missile defense and related sales follow President Joe Biden's visit to the Middle East last month, during which he met with numerous regional leaders. The UAE have been hit in recent months with rocket attacks from the Iran-backed Houthi rebel movement in Yemen.

 The new sales include USD 2.2 billion for high-altitude missile defence for the UAE.

 For the Emirates, the department ensured that the sale would "support the foreign policy and national security of US by helping to improve the security of a regional partner. The UAE is a vital US partner for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East."

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
