Trump showers his Qatari hosts with praise at state dinner

May 15, 2025
The US president has praised his hosts in Qatar for offering him “unbelievable splendour and warmth” as he addressed a state dinner at Lusail Palace. “I’m the first American president ever to officially visit your great country. It’s a great honour to me, especially since I [have known] the incredible gentlemen on my left for a long time. A lot longer than I’ve been in politics,” Trump said, gesturing to the emir of Qatar, Al Thani.
