President Trump hosted the Emir of Qatar aboard Air Force One as he made his way to Asia in a show of thanks for his role in helping shape the Israel-Hamas peace deal.
“Peace to the Middle East. They were a very big factor in that,” Trump told Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on a refueling stop as he headed to Kuala Lampur for the first stop on his trip for the ASEAN summit
“We have a safe Middle East and we want to keep it that way for a little longer,” Trump added, in the planes front cabin, which had a television in the background showing a UFC match.
“I was thinking: ‘We’re landing here, we’re going to fuel up. Such an honor to have you on the plane,’” Trump told his guest.
