Part 5/8:

During Trump's speech in Abu Dhabi, he addressed the need for renewed economic partnerships between the U.S. and the UAE, emphasizing cooperation in trade and investment. Iger's visit is being viewed as an attempt by Disney to position itself favorably within these developing economic landscapes, particularly as it ventures into a market that might offer substantial financial returns.
The notion that Disney executives may be rethinking their strategies due to downturns in funding and shifting consumer preferences signals a broader change in Hollywood's approach. As Trump and Iger mingle, it becomes clear that the bottom line of profit may be superseding previous ideologies that drove branding.
