Trump touches down in Qatar for Middle East trip, 2nd leg

U.S. President Donald Trump touched down in Doha on Wednesday to a lavish show of Qatari custom and energy, marking the second leg of his Gulf tour.

Awaiting him on the tarmac was Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The two leaders strode down a purple carpet rolled out beneath Qatar’s blazing desert solar, a symbolic stride that highlighted rising ties between Washington and the Gulf state.

At the royal palace, Trump was met with an official welcome wealthy in cultural aptitude – Qatari males carried out a sword-wielding conventional dance, whereas palace guards stood sentinel atop horses, casting a stately silhouette in opposition to the courtroom’s grand structure.
