The interviewer poses a hypothetical question to an expert, asking what he would advise Donald Trump to do to stop the genocide in Sudan. The expert provides a direct, step-by-step plan: call the leader of the UAE, present him with US intelligence proving the UAE is arming the RSF, and threaten specific economic sanctions, namely preventing Americans from shopping duty-free in Dubai. He concludes that this economic pressure is the key leverage that would force the UAE to cease its support, as they have so far faced no consequences for their actions.

“We will no longer be able to have Americans buy duty free at Terminal One at Dubai. That’s what scares the hell out of the UAE.”

Donald Trump, let's say, calls you up today and says, hey. I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize. How do I stop what's happening in Sudan? What would you tell him to do? Easy. Call, Abu Dhabi. Call Mohammed bin Bad, and tell them, that US intelligence services, Defense Intelligence Agency, and the, Bureau of Intelligence and Research at State have intelligence assessments that clearly show, according to The Wall Street Journal, that you've been arming the RSF, including with weapons systems identified by Yale and the intelligence community as being used no, Foscher. And that if he doesn't stop, then there's gonna be US sanctions. We will no longer be able to have Americans buy duty free at Terminal 1 at Dubai. That's what scares the hell out of The UAE. And the moment The United States or The United Kingdom says that, it's gonna cause The UAE to jump. But up until now, they've been testing their business model, and they'll pause, and they realize that there's been no consequences. They don't think that's gonna change.
