Trump Heads to the Gulf With Deals on the Table

Donald Trump started a four-day tour of the Gulf region on Tuesday, beginning in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with subsequent visits planned to Doha and Abu Dhabi.
The trip follows months of negotiations and talks, including US-Iran nuclear discussions in Oman and Saudi efforts to secure advanced arms and investments.
Trump is seeking investment commitments totaling roughly one trillion dollars from Gulf nations, amid debate over a proposed $400 million Boeing jet gift from Qatar intended for use as Air Force One.
Trump characterized the jet gift as a temporary and openly conducted deal, stating that he could not refuse such an opportunity.
The visit is likely to yield major economic agreements but faces skepticism on political issues like Middle East peace, while critics warn of conflicts of interest.
