Trump’s Visit to Qatar: The U.S. Secures Historic $1.2 Trillion Agreements!

During his Middle East tour, U.S. President Donald Trump’s next destination was the State of Qatar. This visit is said to have elevated the relations between the two countries to a new level. According to information provided by the White House press service, the leaders of the two countries successfully signed major agreements in the fields of economy and defense, with a total value exceeding $1.2 trillion.

President Trump and the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, took part in the signing of these historic agreements. According to the U.S. administration, these agreements will “open the doors to a new Golden Age” for the national economy and will create opportunities for prosperity and innovation for future generations.

First and foremost, defense cooperation was at the center of attention. Qatar reached agreements to purchase advanced military equipment from the United States' largest defense companies. In particular, it will acquire the FS-LIDS (Raytheon Fixed Site – Low, Slow, Small Unmanned Aerial System Integrated Defeat System), a system designed to counter modern drones, from Raytheon, a company globally renowned for its high technology. This makes Qatar the first international buyer of these innovative defense technologies.

Additionally, Qatar strengthened its partnership with another U.S. defense firm — General Atomics. Under this partnership, Qatar plans to equip its armed forces with the newest unmanned aerial vehicles (MS-9B), estimated to cost $2 billion.

Alongside the defense agreements, several significant deals were also signed in the field of economic cooperation. Notably, Qatar Airways, one of the world's largest airlines, signed a large-scale contract with the prominent U.S. aerospace manufacturer Boeing. According to this agreement, Qatar’s airline will purchase 160 state-of-the-art aircraft, with the total value of the deal estimated at around $200 billion.

President Donald Trump highly praised the signing of these agreements, emphasizing that such large-scale deals are an important step in advancing the U.S. economy to a new level. “Through these agreements, we will further develop our manufacturing sector, create new jobs, and strengthen America's global technological leadership,” the U.S. president stated in his address.

White House officials highlighted not only the economic importance of these agreements but also their strategic significance. According to them, such large-scale deals between the U.S. and Qatar will contribute to strengthening security and stability in the region.

Experts have also positively evaluated these agreements and expressed confidence that cooperation between the two countries will deepen even further in the future.
