Trump awarded UAE’s highest decoration, Order of Zayed

President Donald Trump arrived in the United Arab Emirates Thursday for the last leg of his first major foreign trip. Air Force One was given a fighter jet escort into the country’s airspace, just as Saudi Arabia and Qatar offered on the first stops of his Mideast trip. Trump was greeted by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and later headed to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque — among the largest mosques in the world. At the end of the public portion of the meeting, Trump was awarded a medal known as the Order of Zayed, named for the UAE's first president. It was presented for Trump’s “exceptional efforts” to strengthen the relationship between the two countries. The bulky necklace was delivered in a display case, which he held with Sheikh Mohammed.
