"The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction."
"What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset."
"The talks highlighted the U.A.E.'s concern that the war could inflict major damage on its economy and its position as a global financial hub, depleting its foreign reserves and scaring away investors."
"Since the outbreak of Trump's war against Iran, many U.S. military bases in the region have been struck by Iranian missiles and drones."
Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, a UAE professor, stated that the country no longer requires American military bases for defense, especially after demonstrating its capabilities during Iranian aggression. He emphasized the need for the UAE to acquire advanced weaponry rather than rely on U.S. bases, which he views as burdensome. Additionally, the UAE is negotiating with the Trump administration for a currency swap to safeguard its economy amid concerns over the ongoing conflict with Iran, which threatens its financial stability and investor confidence.
