We, I think, convinced them to let's have peace and let's go and make trade deals.

If we can make trade deals we like that much better than nuclear weapons.

We did a good job with the Houthis. They stopped with the shooting of [American] ships.

They liked shooting ships down.

When you land and you see Saudi Arabia, you see the UAE, and you see Qatar, and they have these brand-new 747s mostly.

You see ours [Air Force One] next to it. This is like a totally different plane. It's much smaller and less impressive, as impressive as it is.

They [Qatar] said to me, 'We would like to make a gift. You've done so many things' ... My attitude is, why wouldn't I accept a gift?

Now there are those that saw we shouldn't be accepting gifts to the Defense Department.

And I would say, only a stupid person would say that. Why wouldn't I do that?
