There is always an administration review when a foreign company buys another company with operations in the US. I have seen many deals rejected by various White Houses for a number of reasons, including competitive impact, security, labor, management practices, and so on. Historically, it doesn't take much to have a deal rejected.

This deal was a no brainer rejection. I'm shocked that it is where it is right now.

Well, it seems to me that the company the UAE is buying has been running the port for a while
Why do you say that? It appears the deal has not yet been consumated.

and all the actual workers are American....
How do you know that? And keep in mind that a rather small group in the right location could do signicant damage.

but I would be interested to see what kind of screening is going on....
I would very much like to know that.
