- Trump stated they would see a demonstration of US air capability at Qatar's al-Udeid Air Base, home to 8,000 troops and key to past Middle East campaigns.
- The visit highlights US efforts to shift policy by supporting regional economic models, seeking Iran nuclear negotiations, and reducing troop reliance through Syrian sanctions easing and governance changes.
