President Donald Trump's visit to the UAE highlights the nation's pivotal role in Middle East geopolitics, with discussions on defense deals and strategic ties with the U.S.

As Trump’s visit in Qatar came to a close, it had yet to formally present an offer for the megajet the country is expected to gift Trump.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would order the lifting of sanctions on Syria at the behest of Saudi Arabia's crown prince, a major U.S. policy shift ahead of an expected meeting with Syria's Islamist President Ahmed al-Sharaa.

Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and attended a US-Saudi investment forum along with Elon Musk and other top CEOs.
