Let me be clear on that point. Nothing we say with respect to DP World or the situation in the UAE--or any other potential dealshould be construed as such. To that end. I wholly reject the views of those who suggest that our concern with the DP World acquisition. and with other foreign government acquisitions of U.S. critical infrastructure. is somehow rooted in a xenophobic ideology. Rather. when it comes to international business. there are two main issues that I think we as Americans are concerned with. One is the protection of the U.S. economy. our industrial base. and American workers.
Identified stereotypes
Accusation of xenophobia against those who disagree with foreign acquisitions.
