How did Trump destroy the dreams of the Arab leaders? The English print magazine revealed the anger and frustration of officials, researchers and investors in Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai regarding the American and Israeli war against Iran. According to the Economist, these people now see the war as a direct threat to their model of economic modernization; The model that US President Donald Trump praised during his visit to Saudi Arabia 17 months ago. In 2025, Trump praised the Persian Gulf countries for their ability to "maintain their national identity and traditional values, while achieving economic prosperity based on trade, aviation, ports and investment." An economist believes that this war exposed the contradiction between Trump's support for radical political nationalism and his desire to create a stable region based on mutual economic interests. - Link.
