00:00Trump's caught in the middle of an Arab love triangle.

00:03Two Middle Eastern leaders want the president all to themselves.

00:0647 left Saudi Arabia this morning.

00:09The prince was so sad to see him go,

00:11he rode along in the beast and waved goodbye at the gate.

00:15But it's not goodbye, it's see you later.

00:17The president has more deals to make.

00:19Next stop, Qatar.

00:21Saudi Arabia had gone all out.

00:23Qatar said, we can top that.

00:25The Saudis had five jets escort Trump.

00:28Qatar sent eight.

00:30Trump watched the F-15s through the window.

00:33And they were watching back.

00:35We caught one pilot snapping a picture of POTUS.

00:37But the press corps, full of panic-ins.

00:40You're going to be surrounded by eight fighters, you know, in about seven minutes.

00:45Then you say, do we need them?

00:48And when they say yes, that doesn't make me feel good, right?

00:51What's the threat? Can they tell you what the threat is?

00:54Uh, no, there's, let's assume there's no threat.

00:58We have to assume that.

01:00Instead of lavender, the Qataris went with a Republican red carpet, with gold trim, Trump's

01:06favorite.

01:07The sheikh met the Trump on the tarmac and they rolled into town with a cyber truck cavalry.

01:12Electric cars in an oil kingdom.

01:15Go figure.

01:15In the harbor, boats were using American flags for sails.

01:20The Saudis had white Arabian horses.

01:22Qatar had horses, camels, and sword dancers.

01:26The Saudis sent us a rare Arabian leopard.

01:42She's sleeping at the Smithsonian Zoo in D.C.

01:46But Trump's really more of a camel guy.

01:48The only thing he likes more than camels is marble.

01:51You look at this, it's so beautiful.

01:54As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble.

01:58This is what they call perfecto.

02:01And just a great job you've done.

02:04And what a beautiful place.

02:05And we appreciate those camels.

02:07I haven't seen camels like that in a long time.

02:09The Qatari leader was thrilled to have an American president in town.

02:14We're extremely honored to have you here.

02:16We're very excited, very happy.

02:18It's a historic visit.

02:20And I don't know if you know that you are the first American president to officially visit Qatar.

02:29So we're very honored.

02:31We're very honored.

02:32But Trump just couldn't stop thinking about the Saudi prince.

02:35We always had a very special relationship.

02:39And we came from Saudi Arabia, where we have another great man over there that's a friend of yours.

02:45And you two guys get along so well and like each other.

02:48You sort of remind me a little bit of each other, if you want to know the truth.

02:51Both tall, handsome guys that happen to be very smart.

02:55But he's also a very special guy.

02:59The Qatari said, forget about the prince.

03:02Why don't we just go back to my place?

03:04Nice job.

03:05Nice job.

03:08That might be the only house Trump likes more than Mar-a-Lago.

03:14Must be the marble.

03:15Then the Qatari threatened Trump to dinner and a show.

03:18After the sword dance, some music.

03:35But this wasn't an intimate dinner.

03:54I have a very good friend on my left.

03:58He said, do you mind if I invite just a few guests?

04:02And do you mind shaking hands with them just before dinner?

04:05I said, sure.

04:06I didn't know you were going to have 400 people.

04:08Then the Qatari started speaking Trump's language.

04:18Together, the US and Qatar are feeding and fueling the world.

04:24This energy partnership alone is also valued over $1.5 trillion.

04:30So we have been drill, baby, drilling for the last four years.

04:35And I'm glad to have you back on board.

04:38Qatar is pumping oil and sending us the money.

04:41$1.2 trillion.

04:43Not a bad thing for a day in Doha.

04:46Qatar put in the biggest order for Boeing's ever.

04:49Two hundred and ten.

04:51That's $100 billion.

04:54But this trip isn't all about money.

04:56Trump did something no president has done in 25 years.

05:00He met with Syria's president, who used to be a bad guy.

05:04But now he's our bad guy.

05:06Trump won't inherit Biden's foreign policy.

05:09Fresh face, fresh start.

05:11How did you find the Syrian president?

05:13Great.

05:14Right.

05:15I think very good.

05:16Young, attractive guy, tough guy.

05:18You know, strong pass, very strong pass fighter.

05:23Trump shocked the world by lifting sanctions on Syria.

05:26He says he's giving them a chance at greatness.

05:30We're trying to peel Syria away from Russia and have them play nice with Israel

05:34and peel Syria away from Iran.

05:37The less friends Iran has in the neighborhood, the better chance they sign the nuke deal.

05:42I hope you can help me with the Iran situation because it's a perilous situation.

05:49And we want to do the right thing.

05:52We want to do something that's going to save maybe millions of lives.

05:57We're really helping the region.

05:59We're helping the world.

06:00We're helping your country.

06:02And we'll try and get it done if we can.

06:04We're going to try and get it done.

06:06They have to move quickly.

06:07And I just hope Iran realizes what a good friend they have right here.

06:11If we can sign a nuke deal with Iran, we can lower sanctions and bring their oil back online.

06:17And when we get the Saudis to pump more oil, it'll drive the price down, starve Russia's

06:22war machine, and force Putin to the negotiating table and end the war in Ukraine.

06:26We're also selling these Arabs chips, weapons.

06:30And if Netanyahu settles the war in Gaza, the Gulf states will re-up the Abraham Accords,

06:35and we can all do business with Israel.

06:37Everyone will be doing business together, Jews, Muslims, and the United States.

06:42Moscow will be pushed out of the region.

06:44China will be pushed out.

06:45And you'll have a nice U.S.-sponsored trade alliance with an American security blanket.

06:51Soft and cozy.

06:53Then we can pivot out of that desert back to the Western Hemisphere and to the Far East.

06:58It's where the action is.

07:00His main pitch this week is make money, not war.

07:04Trade goods, not missiles.

07:07It's a Hail Mary, and it might work.

07:15You won't get it anywhere else.
