UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed spoke by phone with US President Trump on the
18th to discuss bilateral cooperation and the regional situation. The US‑Iran
conflict remains ongoing; a two‑month window for peace talks recently ended with
no progress, and the US says Iran refused to make concessions in indirect
negotiations. On the 17th, Mohammed met Oman’s Sultan Haitham in Abu Dhabi to
discuss regional security and deepen economic cooperation; both sides agreed to
continue cooperating on shared regional challenges and to strengthen their
partnership for security and stability.
