During his Middle East trip, President Trump visited the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, marking a rare event of a sitting American president visiting a Muslim house of worship. He expressed admiration for the mosque's beauty and the cultural richness of the UAE. Trump's visit was noteworthy as it involved the mosque being closed for the day in tribute to the United States, highlighting the diplomatic relationship between the two nations. This event underscores the importance of cross-cultural interactions amidst previous controversial remarks Trump made regarding Islam.
"It's so beautiful," Trump, clad in stocking feet as a mark of respect, told reporters inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
"This is an incredible culture."
"I'm very proud of my friends," said Trump, who has used his jam-packed schedule to focus on fostering business ties between American corporations and oil and gas-rich Arab leaders.
"It's in honor of the United States. Better than in honor of me," he said. "Let's give it to the country. That's a great tribute."
