A US military hospital funded by the United Arab Emirates will be built in Abu Dhabi to treat Emirati soldiers and regionally based American troops. Lieutenant General Charles Hooper, director of the Defence Security Cooperation Agency, said the US would deploy medical military personnel in support of a facility very similar to the one in Germany — the biggest American hospital outside the US.
The United Arab Emirates has not yet announced any plans for such a hospital.
The US has a number of military bases across the Gulf — the largest in Qatar with about ten thousand troops.
The UAE is a key regional ally of the United States and maintains close ties with the adminstration of President Donald Trump.
