As in his first term, the decision to begin his foreign travel in the Gulf underscores the strategic importance these states hold in Trump\u2019s foreign policy calculus. The visit offered a clear illustration of President Trump\u2019s transactional approach to diplomacy, characterized by large-scale economic and defense agreements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Saudi Arabia, President Trump secured investment commitments totaling approximately $600 billion, encompassing sectors such as artificial intelligence and arms procurement. The visit to Qatar resulted in a contract for the purchase of 210 Boeing aircraft. In a symbolic gesture of goodwill, the Qatari government also presented President Trump with a Boeing 747-8 aircraft, drawing considerable public and media attention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the final leg of the tour in the UAE, Trump reached an agreement for an additional $200 billion investment. A key component of this agreement was the establishment of a major artificial intelligence campus in Abu Dhabi, including the construction of a 5-gigawatt-capacity AI data center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the Trump administration claimed that the total value of the agreements reached during the tour amounted to $2 trillion, some analysts have cast doubt on this figure, estimating the actual scale to be closer to $700 billion. Nevertheless, the visit effectively highlighted the core tenets of Trump\u2019s diplomacy, which privileges tangible economic gains and strategic deals over traditional diplomatic formalities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notably, the visit also included a trilateral meeting in Riyadh with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Syrian President Ahmad Shara, during which President Trump announced the lifting of U.S. sanctions on Syria\u2014an unexpected move signaling a potential shift in Washington\u2019s policy toward Damascus. The omission of Israel from the itinerary has further prompted speculation and debate over the evolving dynamics of the U.S.\u2013Israel relationship under Trump\u2019s second-term administration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\ud2b8\ub7fc\ud504 \ub300\ud1b5\ub839\uc758 \uac78\ud504 3\uac1c\uad6d \ubc29\ubb38\uacfc \ud568\uc758<\/strong><\/p>\n<p
