Trump visits mosque in Abu Dhabi, an apparent first for the president
ABU DHABI — President Donald Trump toured one of the world's largest mosques Thursday, removing his shoes to take heed of Islamic customs as he arrived here for the third and final stop of his foreign trip this week.
It appeared to be Trump's first trip to a mosque as president, a remarkable gesture for a man whose political career has been marked by intolerance and derision of Muslims. It showcased his willingness, particularly on this trip, to accede to unfamiliar cultural norms to forge potentially lucrative partnerships.
