I am in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE. Got it. And what struck you from this trip? Well, I mean, what struck me from this trip is just how dramatically the leaders pulled out all the stops for Trump. I mean, you had the fighter jets escorting Air Force One as it landed in Riyadh, and later in Doha. You had the military receptions, the Arabian forces, you had the camels.

And the president really saw him to love it all. But I was also struck by how little discussion there was about the crisis in Gaza, where Israel really keeps escalating its strikes, and it is promising an even greater offensive once Trump leaves.

Well, he focused on business. I mean, in his first big speech on the trip, he said he was not there to lecture the region on how it should handle its affairs.

And yesterday, he again suggested that the U.S. take over Gaza and develop the land.

Well, I mean, it doesn't look like it. Russian President Vladimir Putin didn't show up, and Trump said he doesn't think anything will happen until he meets with Putin directly. Trump did say this morning that they will meet as soon as a time can be set up. He mentioned, actually, that he may have gone today to Turkey, but he needs to get back and meet the newest member of the Trump family.
