Russian Satellite News Agency Washington, May 14 - The White House announced on May 14 that Trump signed an economic cooperation agreement with Qatar worth over $1 trillion.
The White House stated in a declaration: "Today, President Trump signed an economic exchange agreement with Qatar valued at no less than $1.2 trillion."
The White House indicated that Qatar will purchase from the United States a total of $96 billion, including up to 210 Boeing 787 "Dreamliners" and 777X aircraft.
Additionally, Qatar will buy nearly $2 billion worth of MQ-9 "Reaper" unmanned combat aerial vehicles from the United States.
Under the agreement, the U.S. will sell the Raytheon "FS-LIDS" anti-drone system abroad for the first time, with a contract value of $1 billion.
Previously, White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt stated that the Qatari government proposed to transfer a Boeing 747-8 passenger aircraft to the Pentagon for use, but this matter is in the legal approval stage. Trump himself stated that rejecting Qatar's offer of a U.S. government leader's aircraft is foolish.
