US President Donald Trump concluded his four-day visit to the Middle East on Friday with a business forum and a stop at the Abrahamic Family House, where the strong partnership between the two nations was emphasized.
The business forum at Qasr al-Watan was attended by several business executives from the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates, including Sultan al-Jaber, the head of the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.
Mr. Al-Jaber presented Mr. Trump with a drop of oil.
“This is the highest quality oil there is on the planet,” Mr. Trump said, adding with a laugh, “But they only gave me a drop.”
He also touted his prowess in getting business deals for the U.S.
“I’m just thinking we have a president of the United States doing the selling,” Mr. Trump said to business leaders. “You think Biden would be doing it? I don’t think so. But I think it’s so important. I have to be a cheerleader for our country.”
He visited the Abrahamic Family House, an interfaith complex that comprises a mosque, synagogue and a church. It was completed in 2023 and is made up of the St. Francis Catholic Church Baptistry, the Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue and the Eminence Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque.
After the tour on Friday, he signed the complex’s guest book.
