With Donald Trump heading back to the Oval Office, Reuters highlights the ties the American president-elect and his allies have maintained with Gulf countries over the past four years since he left office in 2021, from hosting President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Qatar’s emir at his private Florida club and residence Mar-a-Lago last September to the partnership between Saudi developer Dar Global and the Trump Organization to develop Trump Tower Dubai, Trump Tower Jeddah, and a USD 4 bn luxury resort in Oman.
President Al Nahyan and Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, both congratulated Trump on his re-election, Wam reports.
