His arrival at the resort was met with a heavy security presence, including an eight-vehicle motorcade escorted by the National Republican Guard. His time in the Alentejo was part of a multi-day visit to Portugal that included a reception at the Tires Airfield hosted by the Cascais municipality, a private audience with the President of the Republic at the Belém Palace, and a talk on artificial intelligence, leadership, and geopolitics before an audience of approximately 12,000 people at the Game Changers Forum at the MEO Arena in Lisbon.
