As US President Donald Trump continues his diplomatic tour of Gulf states, he has announced a flurry of business deals with Qatar, including a purchase order of up to 210 jets from Boeing by Qatar Airways.  The White House says the deal is worth $96 billion and will create 1 million jobs in the US during their production and delivery. The announcement comes amid growing outrage over the US president's plan to accept a luxury Boeing 747 jumbo jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.
