Donald Trump was scheduled to meet Syria’s new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa and the Gulf states’ heads in Riyadh, where he announced plans to lift sanctions against Syria to aid its recovery. Following this, Trump faced controversy as he prepared to accept a $400 million luxury aircraft from Qatar, raising ethical and security concerns, particularly as it would serve as a presidential jet. The visit to Qatar comes amidst ongoing tensions in Gaza, with Israel resuming attacks, while Trump concluded his Gulf tour with a stop in Abu Dhabi.
