Trump Disdains Gulf Gift: $400 Million Jet Makes Everything Else Look Cheap
Concluding his Middle Eastern tour in the UAE, President Trump received a small amount of Murban crude oil as a gift from Sultan Al Jaber. The president jokingly expressed his disappointment at the gift’s size, despite acknowledging its high quality. This presentation occurred during a business forum at Abu Dhabi’s Qasr Al Watan palace, also attended by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The visit included a significant Boeing-Etihad Airways deal announced earlier, totaling over $14.5 billion.
