Trump's Gulf Tour: A Quest for Business Deals

President Trump's latest international visit to the Gulf is focused on securing significant business transactions.


In his ongoing effort to bolster the American economy and support his business initiatives, President Trump embarked on a four-day tour through Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, aiming to announce deals exceeding $1 trillion.

Trump's Gulf tour commenced in Riyadh, where he expressed ambitions of attracting substantial investments from Saudi Arabia. His goal is to have Saudi leaders commit to investing $1 trillion into the United States, a figure deemed unrealistic by economists as it mirrors the entire annual GDP of Saudi Arabia itself. This endeavor aligns with Trump's substantial real estate ambitions in the region, as he has pending agreements involving a majority Saudi-owned firm, and ventures in cryptocurrency and luxury projects with Qatari and Emirati partners.

Surprisingly, the Qatari royal family has proposed a lavish gesture, offering a luxurious Boeing 747-8 aircraft for use as Air Force One after upgrades. Trump dismissed ethical concerns regarding this gift, labeling anyone who would refuse it as “stupid.”

In other developments, Hamas notably released the last known U.S. hostage in Gaza, potentially as a strategy to gain U.S. support for a peace resolution. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is also exploring the sale of advanced A.I. chips to an Emirati company tied to China, while Trump unexpectedly declared success against the Houthi militia in Yemen.

Additionally, Trump’s family has incentivized the purchase of a cryptocurrency coin by offering exclusive dinners with the president to prominent buyers, stirring intrigue about potential foreign influence on U.S. policy matters.
