00:00But how would you compare the reception and strategic priorities of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE during Donald Trump's visit and what stands out about each different stop he's made?
00:15Sure. We're yet to see the details of the Emirates trip, but in general, we can see that there's a lot of commonalities. The focus on two things, the focus on the economic partnership, of course, and of course, the beautiful aspects of tradition and the welcoming and the dancing and specific things.
00:34So, for example, in KSA, he visited the Ria, the whole huge project that is happening there in the UAE, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque specifically.
00:43And in Qatar, the beautiful visit that was done to the airbase, the Al-Udayd Airbase, which is, I think, one of the largest, if not the largest U.S. airbase outside the USA.
00:56Now, the main difference, I think, that stood out very significantly. We all thought that this is going to be it. And the preparations were that all the visit is going to be mostly about economics.
01:08This is what interests Trump predominantly. But we saw a huge diversion into politics in KSA specifically, giving KSA that leadership role on politics and making a breakthrough on very key files that we saw.
