saudi arabia. this was not a transformation with respect to mr. trump s view of islam or the muslim world. this was a transaction, frankly, a business deal. on the face of it as he heads off to isreal tomorrow where is he likely to get a warm reception as well, this was a pretty successful transaction. what do you anticipate the will be as he heads off on isreal, jerusalem, bethlehem? what is his message going to be? or need to be? well, there i think he ll try to be fully uplifting. he ll praise as he did the u.s. saudi relationship even more so. he ll be the first sitting president to visit the western wall, whether mr. netanyahu will accompany him or not is something to watch. whether he ll say anything on jerusalem that is controversial is worth watching much he s also the first president to visit isreal this early in his term. but unlike the saudi visit, this one will not have an arab sword
entrepreneurs. i spent a lot of time today meeting with some of the great saudi entrepreneurs. it was a privilege. it was an honor. i learned so much hearing about the unique opportunities and challenges that face them every day. but i ve seen the entrepreneurial spirit here. we just came from the opening of a new center to combat terrorism and ideology around terrorism. we saw that it was built in 30 days. 30 days. that is entrepreneurialism. and i may need to borrow those contractors for our next project. maybe infrastructure. the message was very meaningful. ultimately this young generation across the muslim and arab world is the generation that can build a future of tolerance, of hope,
and lots of different ways you can be a christian. we try to put islam in one group. all right. we ll all be watching. thank you so much. united shades of america airs tonight at 10:00 right here on cnn. in this week s parts unknown it s shown that you don t have to travel far to experience food and culture. just take a visit to queens, new york. interesting in wonderlands where you can eat your way through various countries of central america or asia, africa. immerse yourself in cultures not your own? you don t have to go far. it s right across the river. magical place, an enchanted wonderland of diversity and deliciousness called queens.
talking about islam. take a listen. donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. i want surveillance of these people. we have to look at mosques. we have no choice. i do want, for those people coming in for the muslims? i m doing good for the muslims. i want surveillance of certain mosques. okay? i have many friends that are muslims. i will tell you they are so happy that i did this. because man, his anger. is it really a muslim problem or a rad dal islamist problem? maybe it s a muslim problem. maybe it s not. i think islam hates us. so aaron, looking at the red carpet, the royal welcome over the past couple days in saudi arabia, does it leave the impression that all has been forgiven, forgotten? no. i think if it quacks, fredricka, if it swims and if it has
feathers, it s likely a duck. i don t think anyone was somehow persuaded that mr. trump or his advisers have fundamentally transformed their view with respect to islam. this was not about that. this was about saudi arabia and egypt and other keoy look at trump as a welcome, not addition, but a welcome change from the policies of the obama administration which they hated and the saudis fundamentally see a change in the relationship. to forgive and forget it ever even happened in respect to their own national interest. that means investment, ships, aircraft, renewed u.s. commitment, investment in the united states, investment in
