Donald Trump signed a deal with Qatar for its state carrier, Qatar Airways, to buy jets from the U.S. manufacturer Boeing as part of a deal worth $200 billion. This comes after Trump hailed the Syrian president as a ‘young, attractive guy’ after the first meeting between the nations’ leaders in 25 years. The first leg of Trump’s tour saw him sign a $142 billion arms deal in Saudi Arabia. In a speech to Saudi leaders, Trump also gave an ultimatum to Iran as he said he wanted to “make a deal” with the country and make “the world a safer place”. Trump”s visit to Qatar has been overshadowed by a backlash against the country’S proposed gift of a $400m luxury plane to the country.

Qatar Will Buy Boeing Jets — After Donating 747 To Trump
Qatar Airways will buy 210 jets from Boeing, the companies announced Wednesday during President Donald Trump’s visit there. Boeing signed the agreement alongside Trump and the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The visit comes as Qatar has offered to donate a $400 million luxury jet for Trump’s use while Boeing builds new Air Force Ones. Both Democrats and Republicans have raised concerns that the plane could tee Trump up for a quid-pro-quo situation with the Qatari government or present security risks. Trump has insisted the plane would be gifted to the Department of Defense, not him personally, and that he would not use it once it’s donated to his presidential library after leaving office. The White House has said it is reviewing the legality of the donation. Trump is set to conclude his visit to the Middle East in the United Arab Emirates Thursday. He was joined in Saudi Arabia by dozens of business executives attending an investment forum coinciding with the visit, including Elon Musk and Sam Altman.

Never forget Joe Biden’s vigorous young aides: From Noah Smith (this week’s Just Asking Questions guest): “I do think there’s some evidence that many forms of U.s. pop culture — music, movies, video games, books — are stagnating, at least as far as mass consumption is concerned” And Katherine Dee writes that books and music and movies have become less important within the important culture of “tikTok,” a form of social media. “We’re witnessing the rise of new forms of cultural expression,” she writes. “The TikTok is a type of art that we’re woefully misunderstood….They don’t even register as relevant….The social media personality is not quite a new form of art, but something like it….The same is true
Luxury skyscrapers, golf courses and cryptocurrency: The Trump family’s rapidly expanding Middle East business
Donald Trump is travelling to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates this week. He’s travelling as the patriarch of a family whose business empire continues to expand in that part of the world. His financial ties to the Middle East have prompted concerns among government ethicists. Critics say it’s difficult to determine whether he’s acting in the best interest of the U.S. or his pocketbook.”I’ve always had an instinct for making money,” Trump said in February at a conference hosted by a group launched by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. “The Trump Organization does not conduct business with any government entity,” a spokesperson says. “It’s frankly ridiculous that anyone would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says. ‘We live in the age of culture of culture,” Eric Trump says of those reacting to moves to cancel his hotel’s name in the nation’s capital after a mob stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. ‘Believe in ourselves.
