Francine Lacqua hosts this week's episode from the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, where she and guests Matthew Martin, a Bloomberg senior reporter covering sovereign wealth funds, and Bloomberg deals reporter Dinesh Nair, discuss the wave of dealmaking emerging from the Middle East.

Following US President Donald Trump’s recent visit to the region, the White House announced that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have made over $1 trillion in new economic commitments to the US, albeit with few details. These proposed deals are to span a range of key sectors, from defense and aviation to artificial intelligence. If completed, they would signal a major push toward strategic partnerships and long-term diversification.

In this episode, we explore how business leaders are interpreting Trump's trip and what the region's evolving relationship with the US means to the investment landscape going forward.
