In major strategic move, UAE says it has withdrawn from USA led Persian Gulf maritime coalition.
☆ The announcement has come amid tensions between #UAE and #US about UAE's growing military ties with #China.
☆ US has constantly been "warning" the Emirati government of Chinese military presence in UAE that could 'hinder ties' between US & UAE.
☆ President #Biden invited UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed a year ago, but Bin Zayed has still not visited US due to the political tensions between the two countries.
☆ Instead, UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed chose to visit #Russia in October last year.
☆ The visit was considered a move by UAE to seek new allies in the region & get itself out of the American 'camp'.
