My friends in the Gulf - Watch Trump lavish praise on UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain ahead of Saudi investment forum speech in Miami

"Donald Trump was set to address a landmark Saudi investors forum in Miami on Saturday, skipping the CPAC conservative conference for the first time in a decade. It will also mark his second consecutive appearance at Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative summit. Footage from Thursday's cabinet shows him lavishing praise on Gulf nations including the Saudis. He was asked about "some reports that Gulf allies are concerned about winding down the war too soon and potentially leaving Iran." "Well, they'd probably like us to stay. But if we don't stay, look, it's a beautiful thing about aeroplanes that go 2,000 miles an hour. You can get back there very quickly. If we don't stay, we're going to be protecting them. We know, you know, they've been very good. Hey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, in particular, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, the three of them, Kuwait, Bahrain. They've been 100 per cent," he said. Media reports said he was missing CPAC due to the Iran conflict, with reported splits in the 'MAGA' conservative movement about the attack and ongoing conflict."
