The announcement of a golf resort in Qatar underscores the deepening ties between Trump's affiliated company and Gulf nations.

President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.

The two planes currently used as Air Force One have been flying for nearly four decades, and Trump is eager to replace them. During his first term, he displayed a model of a new jumbo jet in the Oval Office, complete with a revised paint scheme that echoed the red, white and dark blue design of his personal plane.

The U.S. and China agreed to lower tariffs for 90 days. The details: U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will fall to 30 percent from 145 percent. Meanwhile, China’s blanket tariffs on U.S. products will drop to 10 percent from 125 percent. A few tariffs will remain. President Donald Trump signed an order to lower prescription drug prices.

President Donald Trump's administration will act according to the law on Qatar's offer of a plane to the Defense Department and is not worried about what the Qataris might ask in return, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said on Monday.
