The world is talking about Donald Trump's official visit to the UK... This is no ordinary visit, because for the first time in history, a US President elected to a second term is making an official state visit to the UK. Traditionally, state visit invitations were not extended to US presidents serving a second term.
Instead, heads of state were invited by the Palace for tea or lunch during their second terms. However, this tradition was broken for Trump!
So, what was the purpose of this official visit that makes Trump special and tramples on traditions? The world press focused more on the tabloid aspect of the matter. Was Queen Camilla angry at her daughter-in-law during the visit, did Kate Middleton's dress shine too brightly, who ignored whom at the private dinner... Yet, what is happening in the shadows of those lavish tables is not just the sound of cutlery.
In those same days, at another palace, the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, President Erdoğan hosted Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. Really, what business do these family members have in palaces? Aside from elected leaders, why are sons-in-law, in-laws, and sons side-by-side with statesmen... It is not just the younger Trump; the US President's daughter, Tiffany, also wandered in our territorial waters. Trump's daughter, Tiffany, along with her husband Michael Boulos, was on vacation this summer on the floating palace named Phoenix 2, owned by Turkish oil magnates Ercüment and Rüya Bayegan. While champagne corks were popping on the yacht, Michael's father, Massad Boulos (Trump's in-law), was holding official talks in Libya.
So, what is happening in this triangle? Why are Trump's son, daughter, and in-law of interest to us, or why are they interested in us?
While father Trump is trying to reshape the Middle East map in the UK, his in-law and children are busy drawing a new map in the Mediterranean... Time will show what kind of diplomacy Donald Trump is conducting in royal castles with the UK, which says "we recognize Palestine." However, the Mediterranean strategy has already emerged... Moreover, America's most prestigious press organization, The New York Times, wrote about it.
Libya has been in war and fragmentation for years. But the oil remains where it is. And that oil brings Trump's in-law, Turkish billionaires, the Dolmabahçe Palace, and the tables of the British Royal Family together in the same story.
As is known, US President Trump had appointed Lebanese-American tycoon Massad Boulos, the father of Michael Boulos, first as his Middle East advisor and later as his Africa representative. It is rumored that Trump's in-law has close contact with everyone involved in the energy and fuel business in the Middle East.
Natural gas wars in the Mediterranean, Libya's energy assets, and the plan for weak, small statelets in the Middle East show that the energy war in the world will be moved to a new dimension. While we read about what Trump ate at the dinner given in his honor in the UK and discuss the dress Kate Middleton wore at the dinner, the real fashion show is being staged in palaces and on yachts. Its fabric is not silk, its lining is oil; its model is not a princess, but an in-law; its runway is not a red carpet, but the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean.
Having held the necessary meetings, Trump made an announcement from his social media account out of the blue. Upon the revelation of his son's meeting with President Erdoğan, the US President posted, "I am pleased to host President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the White House on September 25."
Trump also provided information about the meeting, saying, "We are working on many trade and military agreements with the President, including large-scale sales of Boeing aircraft, an important F-16 deal, and the continuation of F-35 talks, which we expect to conclude positively. I have always had a very good relationship with President Erdoğan." Let us be careful; let us not lament in the end, asking why Trump kissed us for no reason!
Moreover, following these contacts, the meeting between Trump and Erdoğan was announced. Is the timing a coincidence? First the son at the palace, then the father at the summit... If this is not a family business, what is it?
Members of a family are conducting "diplomacy" on four fronts. Is this modern state administration? Or is the biggest family business of the 21st century being established right before our eyes?
And we are still talking about Kate Middleton's dress on the tabloid pages of newspapers. Yet, the real fashion show is being staged in palaces and on yachts. Its fabric is not silk, its lining is oil; its model is not a princess, but an in-law; its runway is not a red carpet, but the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean.
