RIYADH/ DOHA/ DUBAI: The US president is due in Saudi Arabia on the first leg of a three-day tour, which will also take him to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
It marks Trump’s second foreign visit as president after he attended Pope Francis’s funeral in Rome in April.
His objectives are to secure major economic deals and make diplomatic progress on issues that affect the region, including a Gaza ceasefire and stalled Saudi Arabia-Israel normalization talks.
US President Donald Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, the first of three Middle East nations he’ll be visiting this week.
One place we know that Trump will not be visiting on this tour is Israel.
That is because of the ongoing conflict, with Israel’s war on Gaza.
The White House is saying that there has not been any progress when it comes to ceasefire talks there.
Instead, what we know is that, given there has been no progress on those talks, there will also be no furthering of something that Trump has been pressing for, but that has so far eluded the president, and that is furthering of the Abraham Accords, or the normalization of ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
