Two Arabian Leopards, A Royal Plane, And Another Joint Agreement, President Trump Leaves Saudi Arabia For Qatar And A Side Visit With The New Syrian President
It is estimated there are only 120 Arabian Leopards in the wild to include almost 20 that are confined to the southwestern mountains of Asir and Hijaz. It is hoped the partnership will enhance the chances of survival for the critically endangered species and establishing a population outside its native habitat.
The Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr) is classified as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Natures Red List, facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild. Fewer than 120 animals are estimated to survive in small, isolated groups in Oman and Yemen. The species is considered possibly extinct in the wild in Saudi Arabia. This collaborative agreement represents a proactive, international effort to secure a future for this iconic animal, a symbol of pride and natural heritage for Saudi Arabia.
President Trump concluded his visit to Saudi Arabia saying:
We believe in peace through strength. You have to have the strength. I believe it is God's job to sit in judgment, my job to defend America and to promote the fundamental interest of stability prosperity and peace. We had 52 days of thunder and lightning on the Houthis in Yemen like they've never seen before. This was a swift ferocious decisive and extremely successful use of military force. So we hit them hard, we got what we came for, and then we got out. The gleaming marvels of Riad and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation builders neocons or liberal nonprofits. The birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
Upon President Trump's May 14, 2025 arrival in Qatar he was met with a motorcade that included two red Tesla cyber trucks. He was then treated to a grand display of Qatar's camels, sword dancers, and military. They then moved on to a signing ceremony.
First, Boeing signed their agreement followed the Secretary of Defense signing for the gift of the royal family's jumbo jet. The two leaders then signed a Joint Declaration of Cooperation. (Notice that President Trump again pulled his favorite style pen from his pocket to sign the agreement.)
The visit to Qatar is historic because President Trump is the first US President to visit Qatar. While in Qatar, President Trump met with Syria's President striking enough of a deal to lift US-placed sanctions against them; however, the actual agreement has not yet been posted. Qatar is home of the largest US military installation in the Middle East hosting over 10,000 US military troops.
