Dealmaker and Peacemaker. President Trump participates in a signing ceremony with the emir of Qatar. Their mutual friendship was on full display as they signed several agreements.
The first agreement was an “agreement of buying an aircraft from Boeing,” which was signed by Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg for the United States. There were no additional details disclosed; however, President Trump later touted it as Qatar’s largest order in Boeing jet history and congratulated Kelly.
Next, each country’s defense secretary signed a number of agreements between Qatar and the United States, one of which was a deal for Qatar to purchase new MQ-9B drones. The U.S. gave initial approval for that purchase in March (let’s hope those drones don’t end up in Ukraine flying into Moscow). Lastly, the president and emir signed a joint declaration of cooperation between Qatar and the U.S. WATCH:
After the signing ceremony, President Trump remarked that it had been an “interesting couple of hours” in which they discussed the Russia-Ukraine war and Iran, expressing gratitude for Qatar’s “great help.” President Trump is hopeful the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin in Turkey will result in a ceasefire. President Trump has dispatched Secretary of State Marco Rubio, along with emissaries’ Steven Witkoff and Keith Kellogg to play good cop-bad cop.
