During President Trump's recent trip to the Middle East, he was received with extravagant displays of wealth, including lavish carpets and ceremonial welcome acts. His visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE aimed to secure significant investment deals, with commitments including $600 billion from Saudi Arabia and $1.2 trillion from Qatar. Trump enjoyed the opulence, making remarks about the luxurious surroundings. The trip raises both opportunities for economic engagement and ethical concerns regarding potential gifts.
Trump - who himself has a gold-gilded apartment modeled after the French Palace of Versailles, complete with a diamond-encrusted front door - seemed to love the royal treatment.
According to the White House, Saudi Arabia committed to investing $600 billion in the US (though details on the deals remain vague), Qatar agreed to an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion.
