DOHA, Qatar – On Wednesday, President Trump traveled through the streets of Qatar in a convoy featuring a unique cybertruck.
Leading the procession were two Tesla vehicles, easily recognizable with their bright red hoods.
Trump has arrived in Qatar, marking the second leg of his Middle Eastern tour. Earlier in the week, during his stop in a oil-rich emirate, his arrival was accompanied by an impressive escort of eight fighter jets.
The focus of this trip appears to be on establishing business ties while also emphasizing the respect afforded to Trump. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia had previously provided a similar fighter escort for the presidential plane, alongside a rider on a white Arabian horse that proudly trotted beside his vehicle.
At a state dinner, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who essentially governs Saudi Arabia, transported Trump in a golf cart, perhaps a nod to the President’s enthusiasm for the sport.
The event at this first stop seemed tightly controlled, making it quite difficult for journalists to ask any substantive questions. Reporters were positioned far from the main activities, and there was a clear effort to keep the media from straying from the prepared script.
