U.S. President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia as part of his first Gulf tour of his second presidential term. Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates over the course of four days.
MOMENTS THAT STAMPED THE MEETING
During his first stop in Saudi Arabia on the Gulf tour, Trump met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and his strange gestures during the moments when he was offered coffee marked the meeting.
UNABLE TO CALL THE WAITER
Trump, who did not drink the offered coffee, was seen holding the cup and looking into it from above, and he was unable to call the waiter because he did not know the custom. Those around him watched the unfolding situation with astonished expressions.
- To indicate that he did not want any more, it would have been enough for Trump to shake the cup.
- But if he politely extended it straight, it would mean telling the coffee vendor to "refill it."
