Briefly

During his recent Gulf tour, President Trump announced a record aircraft order from Qatar Airways following a meeting with Sheikh Tamim Al Thani. This visit marks the second stop in his tour, which began in Riyadh where he lifted sanctions on Syria. Trump's comments during the Doha meeting highlighted his admiration for both Qatar's emir and Saudi's crown prince, whom he described as "smart" and "handsome." Meanwhile, tensions regarding his remarks on South Africa have led to the US halting its G20 participation.
Trump noted that Qatar's ruling emir, Sheikh Tamim Al Thani, struck him as similar to the Saudi crown prince, calling them both "tall, handsome guys that happen to be very smart."
In a surprise announcement during his Gulf tour, President Trump stated that Qatar Airways has made a record order for Boeing planes after his meeting with the emir.
