President Trump will embark on a three-day state visit to the Middle East as his first foreign trip since starting his second term. The visit, which begins in Saudi Arabia and includes stops in Qatar and the UAE, aims to secure major economic deals and advance diplomatic efforts concerning regional issues, such as a ceasefire in Gaza and potential normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. This visit also reflects a strategic shift, as the U.S. seeks to address recent economic challenges while fostering regional partnerships.
Saudi Arabia was the first country Trump visited during his first term as well, breaking the tradition of US presidents starting with the UK, Canada, or Mexico.
His objectives are securing major economic deals and making diplomatic progress on issues impacting the region, including a Gaza ceasefire and stalled Saudi-Israel normalization talks.
