"Dubai is the hub of the world in so many respects," Lara Trump, host of My View with Lara Trump on Fox News, told the audience at the summit in Dubai, which brings together more than 15,000 content creators from across the globe and over 500 expert speakers with a collective following of 3.5 billion.

Trump said that Dubai has made Americans and Westerners feel much more welcome in the Middle East.

Noting the rapid pace of UAE's development, Lara Trump said the country serves as a model for the rest of the Middle East to follow.

In her chat with Mina Al Oraibi, the editor-in-chief of the National, Lara Trump spoke about her personal experience being part of the Trump family, benefits and risks of the digital media scene, and the impact of tech advancement on legacy media.

The mom of two said social media has been providing alternative forms of information to audiences amid the diminishing public trust in legacy media, noting that hosting her own podcast 'The Right View' helped her engage with broader audiences directly.
