Donald Trump is in Saudi Arabia this morning, meeting with Saudi officials, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who ordered the murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
“President Donald Trump landed in Riyadh on Tuesday carrying the weight of his self-styled roles as a dealmaker and a peacemaker, with the wars in Gaza and Ukraine looming over a trip centered around his other, economic-focused ambitions,” according to NBC News.
“The visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates emphasizes investment and economic priorities, beginning with a Saudi state visit, a summit of Gulf Cooperation Council leaders and a U.S.-Saudi business summit with executives from major U.S. companies. Before leaving Washington, a proposed gift from Qatar of a luxury plane has also drawn attention, raising questions about compliance with government ethics regulations and potential security concerns — as Trump seeks to highlight the financial value.”

The video of Trump appearing to doze off led to online mockery.
