US President Donald Trump arrived Thursday afternoon in the UAE, on the final stop of his Gulf tour, which he had described as a “historic” one.

President Donald Trump arrived in the United Arab Emirates Thursday for the last leg of his first major foreign trip. Air Force One was given a fighter jet escort into the country’s airspace, just as Saudi Arabia and Qatar offered on the first stops of his Mideast trip.

Trump was greeted by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and later headed to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — among the largest mosques in the world. He is to attend a state dinner at the presidential palace in Abu Dhabi.
The first major trip of his second term had been scheduled to end, but Trump hadn’t ruled out continuing on to Turkey if Russian President Vladimir Putin shows up for talks with Ukraine.

The US president arrived in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi coming from Qatar.

He kicked off his trip to the region from Saudi Arabia where he held bilateral talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. During his visit to both the Kingdom and Qatar, major announcements were made with more to be expected during his stay in the UAE.
