President Donald Trump landed in Saudi Arabia today, embarking on his first big overseas tour of the second administration. He is also slated to visit Qatar and the United Arab Emirates this week.
The president’s visit began with a grandiose welcoming ceremony at the Saudi Royal Court, which included Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump will be attending a business event and dinner later on Tuesday.
One fascinating moment that went viral on social media came when Trump did not appear to drink the offered cup of coffee, leaving it on the table while continuing his conversation with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Some on social media claimed it was out of caution for Trump’s health, while others noted that the president does not drink alcohol or coffee.
Another video angle does show that Trump took a sip of the drink despite some on social media claiming that it was “disrespectful” for Trump not to drink the coffee.
