Cashing in: The real cost of Trump’s Middle East tour
President Trump’s official trip to the Middle East was marketed by the White House as an effort to share his plans to bring peace to the region, but one of the first things he did was accept a $400 million plane from the Emir of Qatar. Ali Velshi reveals the true price of friendship with the United States: how much you are willing to invest in the Trump empire.

Canadian government are idiots trying to destroy Canada. There's no negotiating yet. They're the last country that wants to make a deal.
Trump loves evil. Playing with the wrong people and risking Americans. As they say in Bible scripture… The love of money is the root of all evil. Trump keeps playing with the devil.
Americans are fried with this criminal…
You going to be remembered for being on the wrong side of history
Wonderful reporting, educational. I avoid msn, but am glad I listened. Citizens of USA better wake up and impeach Trump before it’s too late.
Talk about wasting our tax money!
It just makes me feel like he wants to destroy the US the people and get richer
"The winners were the shareholders of big tech, fossil fuel companies, weapons manufacturers and above all else; The Trump Brand."
You'd swear this is something out of a grim parody of GI Joe.
Trump's Middle East trip was a masterclass in deal-making, securing billions for American businesses and strengthening vital alliances. Those arms deals? They bolster our allies against regional threats, making us safer. And let's be real, any president looks out for American interests – Trump just does it better. Ignore the media spin; this was America First in action.

When you handover a country to a wealthy salesman… He wouldn't care for the common
The left never give up!!
Trump needs to go away and his minions
If TRUMP cannot handle China he IS doomed. Because he is a sales man selling the outated SCRAP DEFENCE equipment. WELL I AM NOT SURE A WHOLE COUNTRY IS FOOLED TO BUY SCRAP AT A PREMIUM.
An example of providing known human rights violating governments, e.g., Saudi Arabia and UAE, with powerful AI chip technologies and any other tech and intelligence. It's not a stretch of the imagination to say that we ought to be troubled by the lack of humanity, a moral compass, and ethics that these governments are known for are now focussing on possessing powerful tools to better monitor/control their populace. Trump and his equally as unhinged and tyrannical allies are killing our humanity, freedoms, and human rights by a thousand cuts. 😥
I am surprised that so much intellectual endeavour is squandered in Trump. The man is a buffoon, a cretin elected by a rabble, uneducated, absurd, and contemptible. The best way to deal with Trump is for every one to ignore him, and for the international Community to isolate him by withdrawing their ambassador and refusing to enter into any form of discussion or Negotiation. The failure of the International Community to discover a common front, and isolate the regime which is illegal is to recognise Kamala Harris as the only legitimate president of the USA and to suspend the USA from every international body until the American People recover their senses. This decade long absurdity of Trump occurs because people squander mental effort taking him seriously as a human being. He is trash electd by trash
Broken string
I dont get it. Its not like Trump sold us out to China, or took dirty money under the table from Ukraine. The. Iden crime syndicate ran wild for years and the media has the nerve to complain about Trump. Unbelievable!
Yes Profit over People never works, just like GREED is nobody's friend!
The real ENEMY is self…..me me me & only me…the love of SELF so much,
that it can never ever care for or be concerned for others….and 1/2 of the US
thought a Criminal is the better choice…..so so foolish…..life is so hard bla bla
and we want a life of ease…well the US has had it for many decades now….and now
the times are changing ….just look @ the rest of the World….life is hard work….
as the Billionaire's pay less tax & the rest have to endure hardship….another BIG
reason for this HUGE mess…is decades of living off DEDT…thanks again to GREED, WARS,
and so much Devious mismanagement……the World thanks you again, for revealing
just who & what you are…and what you care for…..me me me…..America first….the World
will make better deals and move away from unjust evil GREED for self alone!
If the MAGA faithful still believe gas prices are going to fall, they are not paying attention. Qatar,UAE,Saudi Arabia are all petro dollar economies, throw in Trumps bromance with Putin,Russia's largest export is gas and oil. Trump will do nothing to bring prices down. In fact, prices will rise over the next few months, as a reward for supporting Trump.
God you people are seriously insufferable. If this was anyone else you would be commenting how respectful they're being towards us and how amazing the deals are and how this approach will foster peace through mutial economic benefit. No. Insted you take the low road as usual. Honestly, you peopl are terrible and at this rate I will never go back to the left.
Dnt know what US citizens are doing…they r just happy he got an amazing welcome….at what cost
Isn’t it illegal for a president to run it’s personal business while in the chair? Or is it ok for this guy?
MAGA MAGA MAGA
YOU CAN ONLY LOVE the POTUS TRUMP by focusing on BUSINESS and INVESTMENTS for the American Companies ( translates into jobs for American worker )
, and not on DEI, Gender, Pronouns, and downright WASTE of the Tax-Payers Monies on every level l, ike the BIDEN ADMIN had !
Who knew Trump would love Men wearing robes that much
Yes
