'Donald Trump Refuses To Drink Traditional Arabian Coffee In Riyadh': Netizens Slam US President For Disrespecting Hosts (VIDEO)

US President Donald Trump was offered a cup of ghahwa, a traditional Saudi coffee, at the royal palace during a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, but he seemingly did not drink it.

A video has gone viral on social media showing Trump, after being served coffee with other leaders, he keeps holding the small cup of coffee. After some time, he places the cup on the table without taking a sip of the Arabian coffee.

The video has set social media abuzz, with many users criticizing the US President for disrespecting Saudi hospitality by refusing to drink the traditional coffee during his visit.

Here is how social media reacted to viral video:

In Saudi Arabia and the broader Arab region, refusing coffee offered in someone's home is considered impolite unless there is a justifiable reason.

Amid commotion over viral video, a user shared the picture of Trump drinking coffer. However, the picture remains unverified.

Earlier today, US President Donald Trump began his four-day Middle East trip by paying a visit to Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Trump was warmly greeted by Prince Mohammed after he stepped off Air Force One at King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital.
