ABU DHABI: US Vice President Kamala Harris was Monday leading a high-level delegation to meet the United Arab Emirates’ new president, who takes over after his half-brother’s death, following months of strained ties between Washington and the oil-rich Gulf state.
Harris, whose team includes Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and CIA chief William Burns, is heading the strongest delegation to visit UAE since President Joe Biden took office last year.
