United States President Donald Trump has signed several economic deals on his visit to the Gulf region.
One of the biggest deals was signed in Qatar, where Boeing secured its largest-ever order of wide-body jets from Qatar Airways.
Doha also promised to invest more than $10bn in the Al Udeid Air Base, one of the US’s biggest military facilities in the world.
Trump says he’s forging a future with the Middle East defined by commerce, not chaos. But could that mean regional stability and security are now taking a back seat?
And how likely is it that the US president would throw US weight behind ending the devastating war in Gaza?
