President Trump. Is this beautiful? It is so beautiful.

Very proud of my friends. This is an incredible culture. That, I can say. I'm very, very proud of my friends.

Crown Prince Kaled bin Mohamed. Thank you, sir.

President Trump. Thank you.

This is the first time they've closed the mosque for the day. Is that true?

Grand Mosque Director-General Yousif Al Obaidl. [Inaudible]

President Trump. First time they've closed it. It's an honor to the United States, I think.

Crown Prince Kaled bin Mohamed. Absolutely.

President Trump. So, better than in honor of me. Let's give it to the country, but it's—that's a great tribute. Thank you very much.

Director-General Al-Obaidli. Of course.

President Trump. Is everybody having a good time? Doug [Doug Mills, New York Times]?

Q. Yes, sir. Thank you.

President Trump. There's plenty of good shots you're taking today.

Q. Plenty, sir.

President Trump. Thank you very much, everybody.
