Watch live coverage as President Donald Trump speaks at an investment forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, in which Trump highlighted their friendship. The visit to the Gulf states comes at a crucial moment for diplomacy as U.S. officials work quickly to make trade deals following Trump’s sweeping tariffs. U.S. and Chinese officials announced yesterday that they had reached an agreement to temporarily pause their reciprocal tariffs. Trump is visiting three countries in the Middle-East — Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar — where the Trump Organization has planned real estate projects. The trip also comes as Trump is under fire for his decision to accept a luxury Boeing jumbo jet from the Qatari government as the new Air Force One. Trump has said the plane will be transferred to his presidential library foundation after he leaves office, the details of which are still being worked out.
