His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, congratulated Donald Trump on his inauguration as the President of the United States in a message posted on the social media platform “X” (formerly Twitter). He wished the new U.S. administration success and expressed his commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation to enhance regional security and achieve lasting peace and stability.
In his message, Sheikh Mohammed wrote, “I look forward to working with President Trump to develop the strategic relations between the UAE and the U.S. and to contribute to promoting peace and stability in the region.”
Donald Trump, the new President of the United States, took the oath of office on Monday during an inauguration ceremony held beneath the grand dome of the Capitol building. He raised his left hand while placing his right hand on a Bible gifted to him by his mother and declared that he would begin implementing immediate directives at the start of his second presidential term.
Political analysts believe that Trump’s second term could present an opportunity for a reevaluation of U.S. Middle East policies, with a focus on strengthening strategic cooperation with regional partners, particularly the UAE.
These congratulations and commitments highlight the importance of the UAE-U.S. bilateral relationship in the fields of security and economics and could pave the way for further cooperation in the future.
