Opinions change in UAE as Biden leads in US polls
As Democrat candidate Joe Biden edges ahead in US elections, opinions began to change inside the United Arab Emirates (UAE), whose leadership has forged a close relationship with incumbent President Donald Trump.
This was evident in opinions expressed by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla, a professor of political science and Chairman of the Arab Council for Social Science.
"If Democrat candidate Joe Biden wins, his victory will be weak and unconvincing, and Trump will have the right to be upset and go to court,” Abdulla, a former consultant to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Zayed, said in a Twitter post on Thursday as Trump was still ahead of Biden in vote-counting.
But as recent exit polls showed that Biden was close to secure the electoral votes needed to win the White House, Abdalla changed his opinion.
The Emirati professor described Biden as a wise man. “He is a wise man that America and the world needs after four critical and untraditional years,” he said in another tweet on Saturday.

Maybe Trump retiring to the UAE is not an option after all.
