Again the wrong choice. The UAE doesn't like blacks either.

(CNN)Vice President Kamala Harris will make a trip to the United Arab
Emirates on Monday, leading a presidential delegation to express in-person condolences on the death of the country's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin
Zayed Al Nahyan.

Harris will also meet with the new president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, while in the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi, according to a
statement from Harris' press secretary, Kirsten Allen.

"In addition to honoring the memory and the legacy of Sheikh Khalifa, the
Vice President will underscore the strength of the partnership between our countries and our desire to further deepen our ties in the coming months
and years," Allen said Saturday.

Harris' delegation will include US Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
according to a statement Saturday from State Department Spokesperson Ned
Price.

Blinken said in a statement: "We look forward to working closely together
to build on the extraordinary partnership between the United States and
the United Arab Emirates that grew under His Highness Sheikh Khalifa's presidency, and continuing our dialogue to advance a more peaceful and
secure region and world."

In addition to Blinken, Harris will be joined by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, CIA Director Bill Burns and special presidential envoy for climate
John Kerry, the White House said in a statement. The trip will also
include US Embassy Abu Dhabi Chargé d'Affaires Sean Murphy; Harris
national security adviser Phil Gordon; National Security Council
coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk; and NSC
senior director for the Middle East and North Africa Barbara Leaf.

The size and seniority of the delegation indicate an effort to ease recent tensions between the two countries, which grew after a drone attack on Abu Dhabi by Houthi rebels in January that left three dead. The UAE has pushed
to have the Biden administration redesignate the Houthis as a terrorist organization after Biden reversed the Trump-era designation.

Both President Joe Biden and Harris offered their condolences recently on Sheikh Khalifa's death. Biden called the late UAE leader "a true partner
and friend of the United States."

In a statement congratulating Sheikh Mohammed on his election as UAE
president, Biden said that "the United States is determined to honor the
memory of the late president Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan by
continuing to strengthen the strategic partnership between our countries
over the coming months and years."

Sheikh Khalifa, whose modernization policies helped transform his country
into a regional powerhouse, died on Friday at the age of 73.

Sheikh Mohammed, his brother, was unanimously elected president by the country's Federal Supreme Council, the UAE's official news agency (WAM)
said. Sheikh Mohammed had been widely seen as the de facto leader of the
UAE, handling day-to-day affairs for the Gulf state, while Sheikh
Khalifa's role had been largely ceremonial since he suffered a stroke and underwent surgery in 2014.
