Tucker Carlson is a former Fox News host. He usually supports Donald Trump, but now he’s questioning Trump’s actions in the Middle East. Carlson said Trump’s new business deals in the Middle East “seem like corruption.”

The Trump Organization has signed deals to build several luxury projects. According to the NBC news report the projects are as follows:

  1. Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai
  2. Trump Tower in Jeddah
  3. Golf resort in Doha
  4. Hotel under construction in Muscat


Earlier this month, Trump visited Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE for four days. Carlson talked about this on his show while speaking with Shawn Ryan, a former Navy SEAL, as per the Tucker Carlson show mentioned in the reports.

Ryan said he was “losing hope” in Trump’s administration and that it needs “a lot of work.” Ryan liked Trump’s actions to stop DEI initiatives which are Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and to protect the southern border. But Ryan criticized the government for failing to release the Epstein Files properly and also for its Middle East deals.

Ryan said he noticed a lot of negotiations happening in the Middle East and then suddenly saw new Trump hotels being built in places like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha. Ryan asked if the hotel deals were made at the same time as those political negotiations.

Carlson said no, he’s just a “visitor, traveler, and watcher.”Ryan admitted that the whole situation “worries” him. Carlson agreed and said, “Well it seems like corruption, yeah.”
