Trump wraps up Middle East visit with focus on deals, less on diplomacy - Intense Business Encounters, Lacking Diplomatic Exchange: Trump Concludes Gulf Tour
Trump's tour of the Gulf has been anything but diplomatic, with the focus firmly on securing gigantic business deals!
The trip kicked off in Saudi Arabia, where the kingdom vowed to sink a whopping $600 billion into the US economy. The Emirates followed suit with a promised investment of $1.4 trillion over the next decade.
On this whirlwind tour, 'Salesman-in-Chief' Trump couldn't hide his glee: "We have a President who sells. I think I have to be a cheerleader for our country. That's why our country is doing so well."
UAE's AI Ambitions
In the United Arab Emirates, the President inked a deal to carve a path for the Emirates to purchase advanced AI semiconductors from American companies, a move expected to generate billions in revenue and accelerate the Emirates' AI ambitions!
Qatar's Boeing Bonanza
While in Qatar, Trump brokered a deal worth $200 billion for the purchase of Boeing aircraft – quite the investment boost for the aircraft giant!
A Quick Word on Gaza
Though questions about human rights in the Gulf states and the crisis in Gaza lingered, Trump offered brief remarks: "Many people are starving. We're looking at Gaza, and we'll take care of it."
But don't expect detailed discussions on regional relationships or geopolitical issues during this trip; Trump's foreign policy seems to be all business, little diplomacy!
