Biden and 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 spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday.
On Sudan, "we all must increase efforts to open routes for humanitarian assistance and ultimately to secure a ceasefire," Kirby said.
A report on the UAE's state news agency Wam confirmed Sheikh Mohamed's upcoming US visit and meeting with top officials. Talks, it added, would build on bilateral relations that span more than 50 years.
The UAE and US leaders will also discuss ways to boost partnerships across sectors, from economy and trade to technology, artificial intelligence, space, and renewable energy.
Sheikh Mohamed and Biden are also expected to exchange views on all regional and international issues and developments of common interest, Wam said.
