President Trump had secured nearly $2 trillion in deals for U.S. companies, including more than $1.2 trillion in economic investment by Qatar, by the time his Middle East trip began its second leg Wednesday.
Reaching the halfway point of his tour, Mr. Trump advanced his approach to bolstering U.S. interests in the region through transactional business deals, eschewing his predecessors’ strategy of securing peace through diplomacy.
“Everyone wants to come and witness what is happening right here. As president, I’m proud that our growing friendship has brought us into a full-fledged economic and security partnership, as we’ve seen clearly on this trip,” Mr. Trump said in Qatar. “We’re setting records on this trip, we’re bringing a lot of investment back into the United States.”
Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, emir of Qatar, said his nation and the U.S. were “economically joined at the head” because of Mr. Trump’s persistence, incentivizing it to ensure regional stability.
“We are a powerful agent for peace precisely because of our size,” he said. “There is so much that the United States and Qatar share. Building on our existing economic ties, our newly announced projects and investment will amount to $1.2 trillion,” he said, adding that Qatar was “grateful” for the deal.
Much like the $600 billion in deals Mr. Trump secured from Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, it’s unclear how much of the funding was committed before the trip. Time frames for the deals were not explained.
The centerpiece of Wednesday’s deals was Qatar Airways’ agreement to pay $96 billion for 210 American-made Boeing 787 and 777X jets.
The deal is Boeing’s largest order for both airplane models. The White House said the agreement would support 154,000 U.S. jobs annually and could total more than 1 million jobs in the U.S., including production and delivery.
