Trump in Qatar

NBC News -  In Doha, Qatar, Trump is expected to deliver a speech and meet with American troops at the Al Udeid Air Base. He'll also meet with the Qatari government to discuss the royal family's gift of a luxury plane worth about $400 million. The proposed gift has sparked debate in Washington about whether it would run afoul of the constitutional clause that bars gifts from foreign nations without congressional approval. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson called the plane "a pretty strange offer," while Trump ally Laura Loomer said accepting the gift would be "a strain" on the administration. Trump described the gift as a "contribution" that the U.S. can't turn down.

Also worth noting: A deal was finalized last month for a Trump-branded golf course near Doha in partner with a Saudi Arabian firm, highlighting the Trump Organization's international ambitions while raising concerns from critics about profiting from the presidency.
