U.S. President Donald Trump, during a press conference held in Saudi Arabia, the first stop of his Middle East tour, appeared to doze off briefly in front of the cameras, likely due to the effects of the time difference.
U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia, the first stop of his Middle East tour covering three countries, from May 13 to 16. During his arrival, Trump's Air Force One was accompanied by Saudi F-15 fighter jets, and it was observed that citizens watched the arrival of the U.S. president on large screens. During the visit, significant trade and arms agreements between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are expected.
FELL ASLEEP IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS
Trump, who was welcomed on a purple carpet and personally greeted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was seen to be tired due to the time difference during the press conference and fell asleep in front of the cameras.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF THE MEETING
Moreover, in the first moments of the visit, the actions Trump displayed when he was offered coffee also made headlines. It was observed that Trump, who did not drink the offered coffee, held the cup in his hand, looked into it from above, and, not knowing the custom, did not call the attendant, while he watched everything happening around him with a puzzled expression.
