February 26, 2006	President George W. Bush threatened to veto any congressional measure that slowed the acquisition of between six and 22 U.S. seaports by Dubai Ports World, a United Arab Emirates-controlled firm. Critics of the acquisition pointed out that the United Arab Emirates was home to two of the September 11 hijackers and was one of few countries to recognize the Taliban. Dubai Ports World subsequently agreed to a 45-day review of the deal, which will provide the Bush Administration with more time to promote the takeover.
