Trump sidelines geopolitical crises in Mideast to pursue trillions in tech and military investments

US President Donald Trump began a tour of wealthy Gulf states on Tuesday by visiting Saudi Arabia, with his focus on securing trillions of dollars in investments rather than security issues ranging from war in Gaza to Iran's nuclear program. Emerging from Air Force One, Trump punched the air in a show of solidarity when Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeted him at the airport after his arrival in Riyadh with a who's who of business leaders in tow including billionaire Elon Musk. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on Trump's whirlwind "Gulf of Arabia" tour, FRANCE 24's Genie Godula welcomes Aaron David Miller, American author and diplomat, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and former State Department Middle East Analyst and Negotiator in both Republican and Democratic Administrations.
