President Donald Trump's recent trip to the Middle East was marked by lavish ceremonies, major business deals, and a focus on pragmatic diplomacy.
The visit emphasized economic partnerships and showcased opulence, including a $400 million plane deal with Qatar. Trump positioned himself as a dealmaker, prioritizing commerce and stability over traditional American values like human rights. Notably, discussions of human rights were largely absent from the agenda, a departure from previous presidential visits to the region.
The trip highlighted a shift in U.S. foreign policy toward self-interest and transactional relationships.
