Friday that it will ease export restrictions on the United Arab Emirates, granting the country broader access to US military, commercial space, and advanced technology items in recognition of its role as a major defense partner,\u00a0Anadolu reports.<\/p>\n<p>The department\u2019s Bureau of Industry and Security said in a statement that it will \u201csignificantly upgrade\u201d the UAE\u2019s status under the Export Administration Regulations, citing Abu Dhabi\u2019s support for US national security interests, including cooperation related to Operation Epic Fury against Iran.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the change, the bureau will remove the UAE from Export Administration Regulations Country Groups D:3 and D:4, eliminating certain restrictions, including those affecting support for UAE unmanned aerial vehicle programs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>READ:\u00a0US officials pushing UAE to seize Iranian island: Report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The department said it will simultaneously move the UAE into Country Group A:5, a designation that allows Abu Dhabi and approved commercial entities to receive certain US-controlled items through license-free exports, reexports and in-country transfers under the Strategic Trade Authorization license exception.<\/p>\n<p>The expanded access will cover certain department-controlled military items, commercial satellites and spacecraft, as well as dual-use technologies relevant to sectors including oil and gas production, desalination, and civil nuclear power generation.<\/p>\n<p>The department said the new status reflects the \u201congoing U.S.-UAE military partnership\u201d and the UAE\u2019s commitment to preventing the diversion and misuse of sensitive American technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The department said the policy shift would support UAE commercial and infrastructure priorities while strengthening the country\u2019s defense capabilities in ways aligned with US interests in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p
