ABU DHABI (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's travel ban imposed on citizens of seven mainly Muslim countries was a sovereign decision for the United States and not directed at any religion, United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed said on Wednesday.

 

Speaking at a joint news conference with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Abdullah also said the idea of safe zones in Syria would be welcome if they were to be temporary and for humanitarian purposes under international auspices.

 

But he said Abu Dhabi wanted to hear more details from Washington before subscribing to the idea.

And of course this has nothing to do with the number of "Emirates" flights to the USA?

Of course an authoritarian state such as the UAE would state as much. And they are not on the list....

Trade deals or promises in the offing to bend over so much? 

why does he feel obliged to wear a western-style suit?

So he's not mistaken for a Muslim?

Have you ever lived there, visited there?

As long as Trump has business interests there, and Saudi etc they have nothing to fear.

Like it or not, implementation of immigration laws pertaining to the USA is determined by the USA government. You are wasting your time whinging about this.  Unless you can vote in the USA, suggest you just order another pint, get pissed with your like-minded mates, and find another tree to piss on. 

this dude looks like HE should be on a travel ban....555

No Trump restrictions with UAE.

Looks like Trump's name will be back on the billboards for the luxury development “the Beverly Hills of Dubai.”

Quid pro quo.

The Presidential Art of a Deal.

 

Seems all the smart people are getting on board and the rest were hoping for President Hillary Obama Clinton.
