And one that's centered on finding opportunities for mutually beneficial exchange is probably a way for us to have some meaningful influence here. Does it mean doing really difficult things like trying to carefully select your words in public when talking about someone who you're looking for a partnership like this with?

While behind closed doors, we hope having sober conversations about the things that they're doing that are unacceptable. Yeah, it means that. Does it also mean acknowledging that the world is complicated, that while you're exchanging the stick for the carrot in the context of Syria, you also have really severe problems that you're still dealing with?

I think it was the Houthis' attack during the speech. So the real-world problems still exist, but the limitations of the previous disposition towards trying to reshape the Middle East by way of U.S. policy, as opposed to finding ways to gently... entangle our shared interests from an economic standpoint, I think is really important.

I think this is probably one of the better moments of the second Trump presidency. The challenge, however, is that it is somewhat overshadowed in certain context by the appearance of corruption. The scandal with respect to the Qatari plane is one thing, but also the fact that- Mark Halperin says zero chance Trump ever steps out on that plane.

How much Trump wants to fight for the plane. But I also think the fact that his sons have been in the in in these same countries in the weeks before, in days before the president got there, essentially striking deals for the Trump organization. Again, is there anything explicitly corrupt about any of this? Does any of it suggest that there is necessarily some sort of quid pro quo?
