“I Was Just Listening”: Trump Caught Nodding Off During Saudi Welcome Ceremony

President Donald Trump’s four-day diplomatic visit to the Middle East began on a sleepy note Tuesday as he appeared to doze off during a welcome ceremony in Saudi Arabia.

Trump, 78, arrived in Riyadh to an official reception hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler. The event marked the start of what the White House says will be a high-stakes trip focused on brokering new trade and investment deals between the United States and Gulf nations.
