President Trump arrives in Abu Dhabi for final leg of Middle East trip VIDEO

President Donald Trump has arrived in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, marking the final stop of his Middle East visit.

The US leader posted a video on his social media account showing him being welcomed by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the airport in Abu Dhabi, per Caliber.Az.

Earlier in the day, he addressed U.S. military personnel at Al Udeid Air Base near Doha, Qatar, where he acknowledged the troops and highlighted a series of business and defence agreements reached between the United States and Qatar.

During his visit to Qatar, President Trump signed an economic agreement expected to generate at least $1.2 trillion in trade between the two countries. He also announced that total economic deals between the U.S. and Qatar now exceed $243.5 billion, including a significant sale of Boeing aircraft and GE Aerospace engines to Qatar Airways.

Among the agreements is a $96 billion order by Qatar Airways for up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X planes powered by GE Aerospace engines. This represents Boeing’s largest-ever widebody aircraft order and is expected to support approximately 154,000 U.S. jobs annually during the production and delivery phases.

Energy sector projects also featured prominently in the agreements. McDermott, which has ongoing projects with Qatar Energy valued at $8.5 billion, will continue to supply offshore components for Qatar’s liquefied natural gas expansion. This work is reported to support thousands of American energy jobs.

Engineering firm Parsons has secured 30 contracts worth up to $97 billion, contributing to company growth and supporting jobs in the U.S. Similarly, Quantinuum announced a joint venture with Qatari firm Al Rabban Capital to invest up to $1 billion in quantum technologies and workforce development, aiming to support job creation and technological leadership in both countries.

This announcement builds on a $600 billion investment commitment made in Saudi Arabia the previous day and follows recent trade agreements with the United Kingdom and China, including efforts to reduce tariffs.

Since taking office, President Trump has emphasized attracting global investments and commercial deals to the U.S., with Qatar among key partners in this effort. His administration points to these agreements as part of ongoing efforts to stimulate manufacturing, economic growth, and job creation in the United States.

The latest deals with Qatar continue a pattern of business engagements dating back to 2019, when GE Aerospace sold engines for Qatar Airways’ Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The Trump administration characterizes these agreements as steps toward maintaining U.S. leadership in aerospace, energy, and emerging technologies.
