WASHINGTON: US President Joe Biden will welcome UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Monday for talks on Gaza and Sudan, the White House said, despite concern of the Gulf power’s role in Sudan.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris “will discuss with President Mohamed, obviously, the crisis in Gaza, the UAE’s essential role in addressing the humanitarian crisis there, and the crisis in Sudan,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
