Gov. Bush Has Faith In Brother's Administration And Ports Deal

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Gov. Jeb Bush said he has faith in his brother's administration over its decision to allow an Arab-owned company to operate major U.S. ports, including in Miami.

Dubai Ports World, a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates, is expected to take over a British company that has been running 6 U.S. ports.

Several South Florida congress members and politicians said the deal should be closely examined.

U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said she has no specific concerns about the company but just the fact that UAE was where a number of the 9/11 hijackers were harbored in warrants further examination.
