Why Netanyahu has 'sinned' against Trump | LBC
Andrew Marr was joined by Simon Marks in the LBC studio to hear what Donald Trump's deal-making tour of the Middle East means for Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. Donald Trump has signed a series of deals with Qatar after meeting with the country's ruler on the latest installment of his whistlestop tour of the Middle East. The US President is visiting the region in a bid to improve relations and sign a series of economic agreements. Trump was greeted by the Qatari Emir, Sheikh Tamin bin Hamad al-Thani upon his arrival in Doha, before the pair travelled to the Amiri Diwan palace to hold a meeting, news conference and signing ceremony. The two leaders signed an aviation agreement, which Trump described as the largest ever order of Boeing Jets, with Qatar Airways placing an order worth over $200bn for 160 of the planes, according to the president. They also signed an agreement on defence, which includes a statement of intent on cooperation between the two countries. It comes after Trump said he wants to “make a deal” with Iran during a meeting with Syria’s interim leader, earlier on Wednesday. Following the signing of the agreements in Doha, Trump was very complimentary towards the Emir of Qatar, comparing him to Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who he met yesterday. The president said: "We came from Saudi Arabia, where we have another great man over there that's a friend of yours. "You two guys get along so well and you remind me a little bit of each other, if you want to know the truth. Both tall, handsome guys that happen to be very smart."
