Dubai Port Company to Divest Itself of American Holdings

The United Arab Emirates company that was attempting to take over management operations at six U.S. ports announced today that it will divest itself of all American interests.



In the business world, doesn't "divest" mean the same as "sell off"? Think of Bell & divestiture...

I also wonder how all their "all" is in this case...
