I have learned recently that not so long ago, a UAE company took over the Santa Fe railroad, which was on life support (like most of the railroads in this country) and there was some controversy surrounding their takeover at that time. Since they have become owners, Santa Fe has had a wave of prosperity, and merged with Burlington Northern to be a successful railroad again.

Not saying that the same thing applies, but it is interesting to note that a UAE company has taken over a part of the United States major transportation/shipping system in the past, and it has been a wholly successful venture for both the U.S. and the UAE.
