Trump Begins Middle East Tour in Saudi Arabia Seeking Economic Deals
Donald Trump has arrived in Saudi Arabia to kickstart his highly anticipated Middle East tour. This marks his first foreign trip of his new term, where he aims to strengthen economic ties while navigating complex regional issues such as Iran and the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Trump, alongside prominent CEOs, seeks to secure up to $1 trillion in U.S. investments and is positioned to engage in discussions that could impact U.S.-Saudi relations, including the potential recognition of a Palestinian state. As Trump meets with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the visit underscores a significant shift in diplomatic focus, blending personal business interests with national foreign policy.
