U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is focusing on Iran and Syria during meetings in Abu Dhabi with Emirati officials.
Kerry arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday after a marathon but inconclusive negotiating session in Switzerland about Iran's nuclear program.
The UAE is a valuable American partner in the Gulf. Like other Arab states in the region, the UAE is deeply concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions.
