    The United Arab Emirates (UAE): Issues for U.S. Policy Updated August 7, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS21852 SUMMARY RS21852 The United Arab Emirates (UAE): August 7, 2020 Issues for U.S. Policy Kenneth Katzman The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven principalities or “emirates.” Its Specialist in Middle population is assessed at nearly 10 million, but about 90% of the population are expatriates from Eastern Affairs within and outside the region who work in its open economy. The UAE is a significant U.S. security partner that hosts about 3,500 U.S. military personnel at UAE military facilities, buys sophisticated U.S. military equipment, including missile defenses and combat aircraft, and supports U.S. policy toward Iran. Most expect this cooperation to continue after UAE President Shaykh Khalifa bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan, who has been incapacitated since January 2014, is succeeded by his younger brother and de-facto UAE leader Shaykh Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan. With ample financial resources and a U.S.-armed and advised military, the UAE has been asserting itself in the region, including militarily. In part to counter Iran, the UAE joined Saudi Arabia in a military effort to pressure the Iran-backed Zaidi Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, a campaign that has produced significant numbers of civilian casualties and criticism of the UAE. That criticism, coupled with UAE concerns that U.S.-Iran tensions could embroil the UAE in war with Iran, might account for an apparent UAE shift toward more engagement with Iran and a decision to remove most of the UAE’s ground forces from the Yemen conflict.

The alliance with the United States is expected to continue after UAE President Shaykh Khalifa bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan, who suffered an incapacitating stroke in January 2014, is succeeded by his younger brother and de-facto UAE leader Shaykh Muhammad bin Zayid Al Nuhayyan. With ample financial resources and a U.S. armed and advised military, the UAE has increasingly asserted itself in the region. On Iran, the UAE has supported the Trump Administration policy of pressuring Iran economically and politically. In part to counter Iran, the UAE joined Saudi Arabia in a military effort to pressure the Iran-backed Zaidi Shia Houthi rebels in Yemen, a campaign aided by some U.S. logistical support but which produced unprecedented criticism of the UAE. In 2019, the criticism, coupled with UAE concerns that U.S.-Iran tensions could embroil the UAE into war with Iran, caused a UAE shift toward more engagement with Iran and a decision to remove most of the UAE’s ground forces from the Yemen conflict.
